Shawnee Campaign:
Expanding Medication Access for Healthier Lives
Help Pharmacy of Grace Expand Compassionate Care to Johnson County
Pharmacy of Grace is expanding its impact with the upcoming opening of a second, full-service pharmacy in Shawnee, Kansas, set to open in spring 2026.
This new location will build on the success of our Wyandotte County site and will offer:
- Affordable medications for uninsured and underinsured patients
- Medication counseling and chronic-disease support
- Referrals to community resources that help families live healthier, more stable lives
- Open to everyone regardless of what doctor or hospital you go to.
With your help, we can ensure that every person in Johnson County has access to the care they deserve.
Why Johnson County?
Data from the Mid-America Regional Council shows that the neighborhoods east of I-35, near our future Shawnee location, have some of the highest poverty and uninsured rates in Johnson County.
-
Up to 40% of the residents live 200% and below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
- 1 in 4 residents lack health insurance
- Nearly half of households in certain pockets speak limited English
For these families, accessible pharmacy care can mean the difference between stability and crisis.
“We see patients every day who are forced to skip doses or stretch prescriptions to make ends meet. Expanding to Shawnee will allow us to meet people where they are — and change lives for good.”
— John Yost, Co-Founder, Pharmacy of Grace

When you give to the Expanding Medication Access for Healthier Lives campaign, you’re not just helping open a new pharmacy, you’re also giving hope to families who have nowhere else to turn.
Behind every prescription is a person whose life is changed:
- A parent who can finally afford insulin.
- A senior who no longer has to skip heart medication.
- A child who can focus in school because their family isn’t choosing between food and medicine.
Your support makes those stories possible.
Be part of a community that cares.
