The last independent, locally owned pharmacy in Clark County may close in December.

Square Care Medical & Pharmacy, 8600 E. Mill Plain Blvd., opened in February 2022 and offers a range of pharmaceutical and wellness services, including medication counseling, immunizations and travel vaccines. Square Care’s owner, Ike Ekeya, said the business is now at risk of closing due to a lack of customers and low insurance reimbursement rates.
