OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission announced their suspension of Spokane County pharmacist Sandra Lee Symington Bang’s license on Tuesday. The suspension is reportedly pending further legal action.
Bang is accused of falsifying prescriptions to obtain medications for personal use, including controlled substances. The suspension prohibits Bang from practicing as a pharmacist in the state of Washington.
According to the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), Bang has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges.
Legal documents related to the case are available online through the Provider Credential Search on the DOH website.
DOH officials urged community members who believe a health care provider acted unprofessionally to report their complaints by calling 360-236-4700.
