North Minneapolis faces a growing pharmacy desert with one remaining pharmacist to serve about 67 000 residents after Walgreens closed its W Broadway store and CVS shuttered four area locations. The trend spans Minnesota and the nation as CVS plans more closures and Walgreens announces hundreds more. Community leaders warn access to medications worsens, especially for nonmobile residents, amid industry blame over reimbursement rates and price changes.
