Responding to the United Healthcare CEO Shooting

Recent Events and the Ongoing Fight for Fair Pharmacy Practices

We wanted to take a moment to address the tragic and shocking recent news regarding the untimely death of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO. While the circumstances surrounding this event are still unfolding, it serves as a stark reminder of the deep complexities and struggles within our healthcare system.

At Hidenwood Pharmacy, we see firsthand how patients are impacted by decisions made at higher levels—particularly by Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). PBMs are powerful middlemen who control prescription pricing and reimbursement, often prioritizing profits over patient care. This broken system has made medications less affordable, forced independent pharmacies to close, and left patients without access to the care they deserve.

For too long, PBMs have added unnecessary costs, delayed prescriptions, and created barriers between patients and their trusted pharmacies. This system is harmful, unsustainable, and needs reform.

If you want to learn more about the impact of PBMs and how you can make a difference, we encourage you to visit patientprotector.us. This resource offers valuable information about PBMs and actionable steps you can take to advocate for meaningful change.

Together, we can protect patients, support independent pharmacies, and create a healthcare system that truly prioritizes people over profits.

Thank you for being a part of the Hidenwood Pharmacy family. Your trust and support mean the world to us.

Warm regards,
The Hidenwood Pharmacy Team
