"We are proud to offer our continued support to the 7CPA ELS Program and are pleased to accept the invitation to extend our appointment as service provider.
"We are gratified to have earned the trust and regard of the Pharmacy Programs Administrator (PPA) as administrator of this program and look forward to helping community pharmacies when an emergency situation occurs," shared Dariz.
