CLEVELAND — Over the years, News 5 has covered the closing of grocery stores in certain neighborhoods and their departures, creating food deserts for the people of those communities. But what happens when pharmacies begin to shutter as well?
With prescriptions already being transferred to surrounding CVS locations, residents are currently trying to figure out how they'll get their medications. For some, it's as easy as driving eight minutes up the road to CVS on Shaker Square, where the prescriptions are being transferred. For others, that's not possible.
"For the most part they’d have to pay someone to take them for a ride because you can’t ride your wheelchair," said community leader Tamara Chappell. The group has reached out to state and city officials, hoping to get them to make a push to keep the CVS on Kinsman Road open.
