The pharmacist to Congress has something to say about that Alzheimer’s remark

WASHINGTON — The pharmacist who prepares prescription drugs for Congress would like you to know that he does not know of any members with Alzheimer’s. And if he did, he wouldn’t tell you.

“I am not aware of any member that actually has Alzheimer’s and would certainly not disclose any such information if I did know,” Mike Kim said, adding that “patient privacy is a very serious matter that I am committed to upholding.”

Kim was featured in a story, published by STAT on Wednesday morning, about his pharmacy’s relationship with Congress. In interviews, the 47-year-old owner of Grubb’s Pharmacy, located just a few blocks from the Capitol, spoke candidly and on the record.
