As the East Coast rallies to respond to Winter Storm Jonas, NACDS partner Healthcare Ready provides information on open pharmacies with its online resource Rx Open. Rx Open remains active and updated twice daily for 17 states, plus Washington, D.C. Healthcare Ready exemplifies the collaboration with public health partners and emergency preparedness authorities.
Healthcare Ready, formerly knows as Rx Response, plays a unique role helping to address and resolve obstacles impacting normal bio-pharmaceutical supply chain operation during and outside of a disaster. Over the course of the past seven years, the group has provided support for almost 50 disasters across the country and built a brand of trust between industry members and government public health and emergency management officials.
If you become aware of situations that may adversely affect healthcare supply or care in the affected area, or would like to request the assistance of Healthcare Ready, please contact the Healthcare Ready Support Team at alerts@healthcareready.org, or call 1 (866) 247-2694.
