When pharmacies close, patients lose more than a place to fill prescriptions. They lose trusted care close to home.

A growing battle is unfolding in MO courtrooms, directly affecting health care decisions. Our state has failed to align its statute governing expert testimony with Federal Rule of Evidence 702. It protects patients from misleading claims in court. Our letter in @stltoday discusses the importance of patients being able to trust the science coming out of our courts. stltoday.com/opinion/letters…
