POG’s New Shawnee Location Featured in the Kansas City Business Journal
Shawnee, KS — Pharmacy of Grace is proud to share that the Kansas City Business Journal is featuring our Shawnee expansion as a business spotlight.
The piece highlights what we’ve been building toward for over four years: a pharmacy model that works as both a sustainable business and a charitable mission, where revenue from insured patients helps support deeply discounted medications for neighbors who can’t afford them. We proved this model in Kansas City, Kansas, and carried it into Johnson County this summer.
The numbers tell part of the story. In its first month, the Shawnee location served nearly 300 patients. Since opening in 2022, Pharmacy of Grace has filled 80,000 prescriptions and served more than 4,000 unique patients across the Kansas City metro. More than 63% of patients are Hispanic or Latino. More than half live below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level.
But as CEO Michael Fink put it: “People think of Johnson County as affluent. But there are pockets where that prescription assistance is needed. We identified more than 2,000 uninsured patients within a mile of this location alone.”
We believe that medication access isn’t just a healthcare issue. It’s a quality of life issue here in our community. And we’re proud of the model we have built and look forward to continuing our expansion.
