Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (NYSE: GRDN), one of the nation's largest and most innovative long-term care (LTC) pharmacy services companies, today announced the acquisition of Senior Care Pharmacy in Wichita, Kan. The acquisition expands Guardian's operations into south central and southwest Kansas, strengthening its overall presence across the state and enabling it to bring its high-quality pharmacy services to residents in assisted living, skilled nursing and behavioral health communities, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in these newly served areas.
With the addition of the Wichita location, Guardian now operates two pharmacies in Kansas – Kansas City and Wichita – enhancing its ability to support LTC communities across the state. Pharmacist Michael Counts, president of Guardian's Kansas City pharmacy, will also lead the Wichita location. Senior Care Pharmacy will continue operating under its existing name, with its local leadership team and entire staff.

Founded in 2004, Guardian Pharmacy Services has expanded from a single location to 52 pharmacies serving 38 states.

New reconciliation text spares forest program from cuts
A program that protects privately owned forests for timber and other uses has survived in a megabill being put together in the Senate, after falling victim to House budget cutters in May. The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee saved the Forest Legacy Program in its piece of the big tax-cut and spending bill, refusing to cut off $100 million in Inflation Reduction Act funding. 'This is a victory not only for forests, but for the families, economies, and ecosystems that depend on them,' said Lesley Kane Szynal, chair of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Coalition, an advocacy group, in a news release Thursday. Advertisement The Forest Legacy Program pays for conservation easements and land purchases that prevent privately owned forests from being converted to other uses. In many cases, they've been used to keep timber operations in business while protecting forest watersheds and allowing for recreational access.

Washington state pollution prices rise amid struggle to cut emissions
The price of pollution allowances in Washington state's carbon market hit its highest level in more than two years, signaling that polluters are increasingly paying for the excess emissions instead of reducing them. Regulated polluters paid $58.51 for each pollution allowance at a Washington auction in June, according to data released Wednesday. The price was $50 at the previous auction, in March. Washington, through its carbon market, sets yearly limits on total greenhouse gas emissions in the state and gives regulated polluters a choice between cutting their emissions under a certain level or purchasing pollution allowances for each ton of excessive emissions. Washington spends the revenue from pollution allowances on climate-focused projects, such as infrastructure for electric vehicles. Advertisement The program requires deep cuts in greenhouse emissions, and most regulated entities haven't been able to reduce their pollution that rapidly, said Mitul Kaushal, associate at cKinetics, a Delhi, India-based financial advisory firm.
