Local organization’s closed-door pharmacy provides access to healthcare
SUMMARY: The Golden Triangle Planning and Development District in Mississippi has launched a closed-door pharmacy to make healthcare more accessible. The pharmacy aims to solve the problem of patients struggling to access their medications and deal with financial insecurity. Through the program, prescriptions are packaged, labeled, and delivered without any extra fees. The organization goes into homes every 28 days for refills and ensures patients are on track with their medications. There is no fee for delivering or packaging the medicines, but customers are responsible for their co-pays. The program stays in contact with patients and doctors to keep track of medication changes.

SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump met with European leaders at the White House to discuss potential three-party peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump expressed support for NATO-like security guarantees for Ukraine but stopped short of committing U.S. troops. Zelenskyy showed openness to talks, emphasizing the need for lasting peace and a strong Ukrainian army. European leaders seek durable security assurances and pressure on Russia to cease fighting. Discussions followed Trump’s recent meeting with Putin, who reportedly demands control of the entire Donbas, a condition Zelenskyy rejects as unconstitutional.
