Dispensing Medicines in a Health Emergency
If a disease outbreak required dispensing medicines to the entire
population, would your clients, residents or staff be able to access
public dispensing sites effectively? Or, would they be better and more
expediently served if your organization provided emergency dispensing
services?
Public Health is looking for community organizations and businesses cabable of operating an alternate (or closed) dispensing site to serve their own clients, residents, staff and/or their family members. This can include any organization or business whose residents, clients, consumers or staff may be more appropriately served at that organization's office than at a public dispensing site. Examples include immobile, homebound or institutionalized populations; large or specialized employers; persons who speak a language other than English; or others who may require special assistance.
