In the wake of a devastating cyberattack on Change Healthcare that’s left pharmacies nationwide unable to process prescriptions, Rochester’s Mayor Malik Evans has announced that the Mt. Hope CVS pharmacy has been unaffected due to its pre-existing inefficiencies.

“While wait times at pharmacies in other cities are up to three hours,” the Mayor said at a press conference Thursday afternoon, “the Mt. Hope CVS has maintained its average wait time of three hours.”

At press time, it was reported that pharmacies in nearby Buffalo were taking a page from Rochester’s book and intentionally implementing staffing shortages at their own pharmacies in an effort to defend against future cyberattacks.
