Howard Neilly’s Post

The opening of GreaterHealth Pharmacy & Wellness is a significant milestone for St. Louis, Missouri. Owned by St. Louis native Marcus Howard, Ph.D., it is Missouri’s first Black-owned pharmacy. It serves 45,000 residents who previously lacked access to a local pharmacy. Dr. Howard’s return to his #community is a powerful testament to the impact that dedicated #entrepreneurs can have on #healthequity. Access to healthcare is a fundamental need, yet many communities across the nation still face significant disparities. By establishing GreaterHealth, Dr. Howard is addressing these inequities head-on. Thousands of people now have the resources they need to manage their health and well-being. This is more than just a business — it’s a lifeline for a community that has long been underserved. Entrepreneurship has always been a driving force for progress, especially within the Black community. Dr. Howard’s journey reflects the resilience and determination that are at the heart of Black-owned businesses. These businesses do more than create economic opportunity. They uplift communities, provide essential services and inspire the next generation of leaders. What could be done in your community to help close health disparity gaps? https://bit.ly/4gpscHS
