Pharmacy of Grace provides affordable prescriptions to the uninsured and underinsured

Pharmacy of Grace was on Up To Date with KCUR, where founder John Yost and board treasurer Liz Sutherlin shared how the nonprofit is addressing a critical barrier to health: the high cost of prescription medications.

As Wyandotte County’s only standalone pharmacy focused on serving uninsured and underinsured patients, Pharmacy of Grace is more than just a dispensary. It’s a mission-driven effort to provide not only affordable medications but also personalized counseling to help patients understand how, when, and why to take their prescriptions.

Yost and Sutherlin emphasized the urgent need for accessible medication in a community where too many people are forced to choose between their health and their budget. By pairing low-cost prescriptions with one-on-one education, Pharmacy of Grace is building a model of care that prioritizes both affordability and understanding—two things every patient deserves.
