In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy Hancock—local pharmacist, owner of Walden Drug, and president of the Paragould Schools School Board—to talk about two areas that directly impact our community: healthcare and education.

Jeremy shares insights into the state of healthcare in Paragould, including the biggest medical challenges people face and how independent pharmacies differ from big chains. We also dive into the complexities of "big pharma" and how policies like Arkansas Bill HB1150 are shaping the future of local pharmacies and patient care.

As the president of the Paragould Schools School Board, Jeremy also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to serve in this role, the challenges and rewards of leading in public education, and exciting developments ahead for the Paragould School District.

This is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in healthcare, education, or the future of our city.
