AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), which operates Florida’s Positive Healthcare, the innovative disease management program serving over 10,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in Florida who are enrolled in the state’s MediPass (Medicaid) program, will celebrate the grand openings of two Positive Healthcare Pharmacies in Orlando (Wed. Sept 13 at 12noon) and Tampa (Thurs. Sept 14 at 12 noon) this week. The new pharmacies, which are open to all, will be the first not-for-profit HIV/AIDS pharmacies in the state of Florida and will primarily target and serve HIV/AIDS patients in the state’s Positive Healthcare disease management program.
“These two new Positive Healthcare Pharmacies in Orlando and Tampa offer another key link in the continuum of care and services for Floridians living with HIV/AIDS,” said Michael Weinstein, President of AHF. “These are also the first non-profit HIV/AIDS pharmacies in Florida, and by using these pharmacies, clients will also help others, as excess revenues from these sites will help AHF and Positive Healthcare provide HIV/AIDS services to other needy Floridians.”
The Tampa & Orlando Positive Healthcare Pharmacies will operate from 8:30am – 5:30pm Monday through Friday.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest AIDS organization in the United States, also operates free AIDS treatment clinics in the US, Africa, Asia and Latin America/Caribbean.
