APAMeds

In order to observe the upcoming holidays, the office will be closed from December 20 to 31. We hope everyone has a great holiday season!

Many programs may give advantages based on age, but it is important to note that PAPs do not. Age, veteran status, and location do not give any patient a specific advantage. This can make the process more difficult to some clients who may have been expecting it, which is why we are here to take you through the process so you know what to expect.

Our next series focuses on the barriers in accessing prescription medication, which we will start off with a update from our executive director: “Lately our advocates have encountered so much ‘red tape’ with a particular program that we unfortunately were told that the pharmaceutical company would not work with us. We are now forced to let 6 patients know to call themselves or to change medication to a program that we have worked with. It has reminded me of what a tedious process this can be for anyone but especially for those who are unable to advocate for themselves. This is why the APA program has existed for so long and continues to be a critical program.”

We are hiring! If you want the chance to help people in need, we could be a great place to work! The intake specialist position requires you to help with the client intake process. If you are interested, you can go to our website under “Job Opportunities” (linked in our bio) and submit your resume.
