More info on Adrian's telepharmacy grant

As reported here a while back, the City of Adrian, MN received partial funding for its telepharmacy project, which restored pharmacy services to the area, in the form of a grant from the Blandin Foundation. The Nobles County Review fills us in again:

The Blandin Foundation notified the city of Adrian on March 13, 2009 that Adrian had been selected for the $50,000 grant through the Sterling Drug, Inc. telepharmacy project. The city received the funds from the Blandin Foundation and forwarded the funds to Sterling Drug, Inc. for the purchase of the telepharmacy equipment.

It is good to know that grants are available for hi-tech medical projects such as retail telepharmacies. If you are having trouble initiating or restoring pharmacy services to your area, you might borrow from Kevin Norskog's example and research available grants.
