Typical gas station, but not a lot of pumps for being one of the few stations on the island. They did have the ice we needed though

spectacular help during Thanksgiving when the other pharmacies were closed, and somebody was…read moresuffering, needing pain medication, and going through hospice. This store remained open until five. they did have an hour break for lunch i believe but the point is that the hospice nurse monica, in the only hospice in the keys was able to locate the store and get medicine that we thought might not be available for someone elderly and suffering and for that i am truly grateful and they deserve a five star rating when other pharmacies shut their doors shut down completely so that the needy could not receive what they needed. Walgreens helped us.

At the End of the Line: How Walgreens' Supply Chain Fails Key West Patients…read more Living in Key West--and living aboard a sailboat--means accepting certain realities. Groceries cost more. Deliveries take longer. We are, quite literally, at the end of the road. What should not be part of that bargain is going without life-sustaining medication. Yet that has become my experience at Walgreens. As a patient who depends on daily medication, I routinely wait three to four days after placing a refill order before it is actually available for pickup at my local Walgreens. During that time, I have had to go without my medication entirely. When I asked why this happens so often, a pharmacist explained that Key West sits at the southernmost end of Walgreens' supply chain. Shipments arrive later, inventory is thinner, and delays are common. That explanation may describe the logistics--but it does not excuse the consequences. For patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, missed doses are not an inconvenience. They are a health risk. The problem is compounded by how Walgreens dispenses insulin. Long-acting insulin such as Lantus is typically prescribed as a 30-day supply, but because it is sold in fixed, sealed packages, many patients receive closer to 20 days' worth per fill, depending on their dose. Insurance copays are charged per prescription fill, not per month. The result is predictable: two pharmacy visits, two copays, and more opportunities for delay. In a place like Key West--where even Walgreens acknowledges that we are last in line for deliveries--that structure becomes dangerous. If your refill is delayed by several days and you were already given less than a month's supply, you don't just pay more. You run out. Walgreens will point out, correctly, that it does not manufacture insulin, that it cannot break sealed packaging, and that insurance rules govern copays. But those explanations miss the larger issue: Walgreens chose to operate a national pharmacy model that does not adequately account for geographically isolated communities like ours. If a company is going to dominate the pharmacy market--closing competitors, centralizing fulfillment, and cutting staffing--it also assumes responsibility for ensuring reliable access. In Key West, alternatives are limited. When Walgreens is delayed, patients don't simply go across the street. We wait. Or we go without. This is what profit-driven efficiency looks like at the edge of the map. Inventory kept lean to control costs. Refills routed through distant supply chains. Patients absorbing the risk when the system fails. Public health experts have long warned that gaps in medication access lead to higher emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and preventable complications. That risk is magnified in communities with fewer providers and fewer pharmacies. Key West may be a tourist destination, but for those of us who live here year-round, it can feel like a pharmacy desert with palm trees. Walgreens likes to describe itself as a healthcare partner. Partners do not tell patients to wait several days for essential medication. Partners do not design systems where people pay more and receive less--and then blame geography. If Walgreens intends to serve communities like Key West, it must do better. That means maintaining adequate local inventory, aligning insulin dispensing with real-world dosing, and treating access as a health obligation rather than a logistical afterthought. Because at the end of the supply chain, the cost of delay is paid not only in dollars, but in days without medicine--and in a higher risk of diabetes-related illness and death.
