LYNCHBURG, Va. – For more than three decades, Centra Health has helped people get the medication they need. However, it’s been more difficult this year.
“If you don’t have a med, that could be life or death for some patients,” Sr. Director of Pharmacy Dr. Randall Puckett says. “We definitely don’t want to run out of medication.”
Dr. Puckett says medicine shortages are a continual issue for pharmacies nationwide, a problem that worsened during the coronavirus pandemic.
