Pharmacies open in White Shield, Mandaree

WHITE SHIELD, N.D. (AP) Telepharmacies have opened at clinics in White Shield and Mandaree.

Tribal officials say residents from White Shield traveled to the main clinic near New Town for their medical appointments, prescriptions and medication refills despite the 120-miles round-trip drive.

Council representative Frank Whitecalfe says some heart patients in White Shield had to wait days for critical medication.

Twin Buttes Satellite Clinic serves as the headquarters for the telepharmacy program on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. It began operating in October.
