OSF spokesman Jon McKee said the health care group had offered to compensate Hy-Vee for the loss of revenue if the pharmacy stopped selling oral contraceptives.
McKee said Hy-Vee’s corporate office had not responded to attempts to negotiate a new agreement that would keep the pharmacy open.
“The real issue is that Hy-Vee needs to step up for community and let us know what their preferences are,” he said. “We would love to keep the pharmacy open.”
A letter of termination was sent to Hy-Vee last November but McKee said the supermarket chain has not responded.
The pharmacy has been open for 36 years. It’s not clear if jobs would be lost as a result of the pharmacy closing. Hy-Vee may offer to relocate staff.
