Wichita is located in South Central Kansas on the Arkansas River, and is the county seat of Sedgwick County. Wichita is home to Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, the largest airport in the state of Kansas (the larger Kansas City International Airport is in Missouri). With a history dating back to the mid-19th century, Wichita is the biggest city in Kansas and the downtown area is beautifully enhanced by public art and sculptures. The metropolitan area of Wichita is the most heavily industrialized area, offering most important transportation and distribution centers in the state..
Pharmacies are frequently the primary access point for healthcare services and supplies, especially for Latinos. As the number of Latino pharmacy clients continues to rise, and nine million Latinos in this country are of reproductive age, a significant opportunity exists to promote sexual health services and products in the pharmacy. Pharmacies are regulated by states, and must be licensed by the states they are in. They also nearly always must be licensed in other states to which they ship medicines. Pharmacies are an ideal access option for emergency contraception. Pharmacists are therefore well placed to perform a role in informing clients and promoting appropriate drug use.
