We were glad to join Senator Rick Scott and the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging for an important conversation about prescription drug shortages and how they’re affecting older Americans.

When medications aren’t available, it’s not just an inconvenience, it can impact a person’s health, independence, and overall quality of life. That’s especially true for seniors and for women as they age.
