Hot days are here, and staying hydrated matters more than you think. 💧

Dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, and even affect how certain medications work.

Stop by your local Martella's Pharmacy to stock up on electrolyte drinks, water bottles, and hydration packets to keep you and your family feeling your best all summer long. And if you're not sure whether your prescriptions and the summer heat play well together, ask our pharmacy team.

We've got you covered.

What a turnout. What a powerful message.

Thank you to our employees, patients, healthcare professionals, community members, and elected officials who joined us for the "My Pharmacy. My Choice. My Voice." Community Town Hall.

A special thank you to Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency, Mark Cuban, Dr. Zane Gates, and Somerset County Commissioner Pam Tokar-Ickes for helping lead an important discussion on patient access, PBMs, and the future of healthcare in rural Pennsylvania.

Your stories and your presence made one thing clear:

The Express Scripts decision that removed access to Martella's Pharmacy for thousands of local patients is not acceptable and is not workable for our communities.

You showed up. You spoke out. And your voices have been heard.

Call to Action:

We now call on Governor Shapiro, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, UPMC and Highmark to come to our communities, listen to patients, and hear firsthand the impact these decisions are having on rural Pennsylvania.

Our Pharmacy. Our Choice. Our Voice.

Sincerely,

The Martella Family 💚

Pennsylvania patients are losing local pharmacy access as PBMs push independent pharmacies out of health plan networks. Tell your legislators to fight back.
