The Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) has opened the online application for the its Pharmacy Assistance Program, which is supported by a grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). The program will provide direct financial assistance to qualifying pharmacies to help expand and sustain pharmacy services in communities across the state that need them most.
This initiative is designed to support pharmacies serving underserved and vulnerable areas, helping ensure that patients across the state continue to have access to essential medications and pharmacist-provided care.
Pharmacies interested in participating are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and submit an application through the IRMA website.
Applications must be submitted no later than midnight on March 31, 2026.
