Love Oak Pharmacy in Eastland, TX (population 3,800) is an independently owned, small-town pharmacy that does more than just fill prescriptions. They’re a one-stop shop for health and wellness, offering nutritious meals at their lunch counter, an on-site fitness center, transportation and concierge services for older adults, and private consultation rooms.

Ben McNabb, owner of Love Oak, takes us on a virtual tour of his innovative rural pharmacy. We learn how Ben has built a cutting-edge business model, forged statewide partnerships, and how he is helping shape rural health policy to better serve communities like his. This session highlights systems thinking and clinically integrated networks (CINs) as tools for expanding health access across rural Texas.
