Walgreens counts as the latest chain of pharmacies to delay its customers due to staffing shortages and walkouts by pharmacists over work conditions.
For CVS locations in Denver, “we’re not seeing any unusual activity regarding unplanned pharmacy closures,” said spokesperson Amy Thibault in an email. “We’re focused on developing a sustainable, scalable action plan to support both our pharmacists and our customers, that can be put in place in markets where support may be needed so we can continue delivering the high-quality care our patients depend on.
At the Walgreens at 360 S. Colorado Blvd. in Glendale, both the drive-thru and consultation window for the pharmacy were closed on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023. “I was spending so much time at the pharmacy because we’re so understaffed,” he said in a phone interview. “All of the responsibility falls on the pharmacist to get things done — and, ultimately, on the pharmacy manager.”
