COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY SERVICE
Clark Pharmacy in Cimarron is a classic small-town drugstore, complete with a soda fountain worthy of Norman Rockwell. Owner Jim Coast, a 1972 KU pharmacy graduate, fills prescriptions with his son Mike, a 1995 alumnus.
They offer one-stop shopping for their Southwest Kansas customers, including a home décor and gift department managed by Jim’s wife, Sandi.“But we also provide a lot of essential
services,” Jim Coast said.“If we weren’t here, people would have to drive nearly 20 miles to Dodge City to get prescriptions filled.”
The Coasts also serve their community by training KU student pharmacists. Fourth-and sixth-year interns learn to serve a rural community by mixing drugs and filling prescriptions as well as providing consulting to 16 area long-term care facilities.
