Medicine Room - Manatee Co. Health Dept.
The "Medicine Room" at MCHD helps all the clinics by ordering medicine and keeping track of what they have. They make sure clinics always have the medicine they need. They also give out prescription medicines to some clients.
These medicines include ones for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), people with epilepsy, and people with tuberculosis (TB). A pharmacist at the State Central Pharmacy fills these prescriptions and sends them to MCHD in a sealed bag with the client's name on it. The Medicine Room gives the medicine to the clients and answers any questions.
There are two programs that give free medicine for people with epilepsy and people who need insulin. Anyone who qualifies based on income can get these medicines for free.
