House Bill 195 aims to fix that by empowering pharmacists to treat common illnesses like UTIs and strep throat, leveraging their local presence and accessibility. This isn’t about replacing doctors, but expanding care where it’s needed most—especially in remote areas. The bill also removes outdated barriers between pharmacists and physicians, boosting medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. With the Legislature already passing it, Governor Dunleavy now holds the pen to make this vital healthcare reform a reality for thousands of Alaskans.
