    ‼ URGENT: Save Our Local Pharmacies (SB360) ‼


    If you've ever taken a prescription or know someone who has--that's 99% of us--please consider taking a few moments out of your day to help.

    Our community has already felt the heartbreak of losing a local pharmacy due to the very issues SB360 aims to fix. We cannot afford to lose another.

    We are calling on all members of our Chamber and the wider community to stand with AuBurn Pharmacy and pharmacies across Kansas. On Wednesday, March 11 at 3:30 PM, the House Insurance Committee will hear SB360. This bill is critical to ensuring our local pharmacists can keep their doors open and continue serving our families.

    Even if we don’t have a direct representative on this committee, these members represent ALL Kansans on this issue. Your voice matters!

    How you can help in 2 minutes :Please call the committee members today or tomorrow morning. Tell them that our community knows firsthand what happens when local pharmacies are forced to close. Committee Members are listed below!

    CALL SCRIPT:


    "Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I’m calling from [Your Town].

    Although Representative [Member's Last Name] does not represent my specific district, I am calling them today as a member of the House Insurance Committee.

    I urge the Representative to support SB360 in Wednesday's hearing. This bill is vital for the survival of local pharmacies across Kansas. As a committee member, their vote impacts my community's access to healthcare. Please vote YES to move SB360 out of committee. Thank you."
