DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 21, 2024--
In response to recent hurricanes that devastated many communities across the Southeastern United States, AIS Healthcare, a leading provider of targeted drug delivery (TDD) and infusion care solutions, is providing additional support to physicians and patients to ensure continuity of care and access to life-saving medication. The destruction of critical infrastructure and extended power outages have created acute challenges for patients who rely on timely delivery and sustained access to medication used to treat severe chronic pain and spasticity.
To address these near-term supply chain disruptions, AIS Healthcare is increasing capacity at its pharmacies in Texas and Mississippi, which were not impacted by the hurricanes. This additional production capacity is intended to meet the demand of physicians and patients who use other pharmacies and may be struggling to access their medication.
“Our thoughts are with all the communities in the Southeast that have experienced immense tragedy and destruction over the last several weeks,” said Simon Castellanos, CEO of AIS Healthcare. “We see it as our responsibility to support physicians and patients in the one area we can – ensuring continuity of care by making essential medications available. Our pharmacy teams have been working around the clock to add capacity and respond to physicians and patients who cannot wait to have their next prescription filled. I’m proud of the work we have done and believe it is absolutely crucial we take action to provide essential medication in times of crises. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to help all physicians, patients, and our industry during this difficult time.”
AIS Healthcare is dedicated to prioritizing the health and safety of all patients in need of care during this period of recovery. To support those who are recovering from hurricanes Milton and Helene, the American Red Cross is accepting donations here.
