OSF pharmacy in Galesburg closing because of religious beliefs

GALESBURG — A Galesburg clinic will soon lose its pharmacy in a dispute over the sale of contraceptives.
A health care group owned by the Sisters of The Third Order of St. Francis, or OSF, took over the Galesburg Clinic last fall. OSF follows Catholic teachings and won't allow the sale of contraceptives.
The pharmacy is run by the Hy-Vee grocery chain. Employees say they've been told the business will close March 4.
