Rutgers to close all its on-campus pharmacies
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers University is closing its three on-campus student pharmacies due to significant losses and a decrease in use.
Rutgers spokesman Neal Buccino says the pharmacies lost over $400,000 in each of the past two years. Prescriptions have also averaged decreases of 525 per year since 2015.
