The AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin is opening a new HIV-dedicated pharmacy on March 1, located in the ARCW Medical Center, 820 N. Plankinton Ave. The pharmacy will be open to all HIV patients, regardless of their healthcare providers or their ability to pay for medications.
In addition to dispensing medications and providing home delivery, the pharmacy will provide in-depth adherence counseling to help ensure that HIV patients take their medications as prescribed. The pharmacy will also provide refill reminders, smoking cessation counseling, drug interaction and side-effect counseling.
“The opening of the ARCW Pharmacy is essential to assure all HIV patients in Wisconsin have access to the medications they need to achieve and maintain good health,” said the center’s CEO Mike Gifford. “Our patients will have access to a comprehensive array of healthcare services at one location.”
To utilize the ARCW Pharmacy, contact pharmacists Rick Fons or Nick Olson at 414-223-6820.
