Scotland County Pharmacy and Scotland County Hospital are both vital to our community. The opening of a pharmacy at the hospital will hurt our community, and may ultimately cause the closure of Scotland County Pharmacy.

Scotland county pharmacy will remain open and fight but they need everyone's support. Small communities can not support multiple pharmacies and adding one at the hospital will severely hurt the Scotland County Pharmacy.

Since they opened in 2004, Scotland County Pharmacy has shown continuously that their belief of community first, is their most important priority. The majority of people in our county have been touched by the generosity of Scotland County Pharmacy and the McKee family. Be it sponsorship of sports teams, purchase of equipment, employment of a family member, donations to benefits, and so much more. Too much to be listed here. People in our community need to come together to support the businesses that have and will continue to support them as long as they are able to.

We are asking people to sign this petition to let the board know that we as a community, support Scotland County Pharmacy. We are respectfully asking the board of directors at Scotland County Hospital to reverse their decision to bring an outside pharmacy to the hospital. Scotland County Pharmacy can work with the hospital and show that it will be the better choice for the community and its members financially while continuing the excellent stewardship they have more than proven within our community.

I have been spending my nights reading through all your comments about the McKee family and it really highlights how many lives they have touched over these last twenty years. I am currently trying to coordinate a time to sit down with the board members because they need to understand that this is about more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

The Scotland County Hospital should support the businesses in our community first and foremost like they would like the community to support them. I think the board is making a big mistake by bringing in an outside business, when a business in our community can and will fulfill your needs.

I am a nurse practitioner and have prescribed through this pharmacy and have picked up prescriptions when I have been in the area. If this pharmacy were to close, this would defer me to order out of town. Thus, taking my business somewhere else.

If I'm not mistaken SCMH receives county tax dollars. It doesn't seem fair for a taxpayer funded institution to attempt to compete with a private business which is already doing a fine job serving the citizens of Scotland County,

Why do we need anot her pharmacy? Why not utilize something this community could benefit from, such as bring in more specialty clinics to the hospital, a factory of some sort, MHI, help to bring numbers back up at the Scotland County Care Center. Why create jobs that can potentially put others out of theirs?

Our community was so fortunate the McKee family chose to open a pharmacy in our town after the closing of our beloved Gardine Drug. I feel we need to repay their support & investment in our town by standing behind them now, and encourage our hospital to do the same.

Matt goes out of his way all the time to help keep people healthy be it supporting sports or coming to town at 10 pm because someone desperately needs meds before morning. Don't spit in his eye like this

This is the best pharmacy I have ever been to. Family owned and wonderful. I moved away and now a nurse near St Louis but this pharmacy needs to stay
