The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Build a public-private-gov't partnership for a community pharmacy or grocery store. The multiple pharmacy closures and the all-around closure of Daily Table has further cemented Roxbury as a Rx/food desert. This would address public health concerns.
Who it helps and why
Medicine/Food deserts are predominantly located in underrepresented locations like Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan. We can't preach health and wellness if we make it impossible for our citizens to reach their meds and foods.
