Avita partnered with Crew Health to open an onsite pharmacy at Crew Health's clinic in Orlando. Working closely with Crew Healthproviders, Avita is providing high-quality and convenient pharmacy services to underserved patients in the Orlando area and surrounding counties, particularly those who are living with HIV, identify as LGBTQ+, or are underinsured or uninsured. The pharmacy, which began serving patients in October, will have a grand opening on March 24.

The new Avita onsite pharmacy enables Crew Health's more than 5,000 patients to receive vital pharmacy services without leaving the building. This convenient “one-stop-shop” approach means patients don't need to travel to receive their medications, which helps remove a significant barrier to access. The convenience of an onsite pharmacy location drives patient adherence to their prescription medication and healthy outcomes.

In addition to its convenient location, the Avita pharmacy model includes staff trained and knowledgeable in HIV care and prevention. In addition to providing a full-service pharmacy, Avita's team has deep expertise in HIV, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), sexually transmitted infections (STI), and LGBTQ+ care as well as proven experience in onsite pharmacy and 340B program administration. This expertise will help ensure Crew Health can continue to offer high-quality care and its patients have easy access to the specialized care they need and deserve.

As a trusted expert in HIV pharmacy care, Avita offers individually focused support to 340B covered entity partners to help them optimize their 340B program and reach more patients in their communities. Avita is the largest independent nationwide provider of pharmacy services for Ryan White/STD Grantees, AIDS Service Organizations, and Federally Qualified Health Centers.
