In partnership with SIRUM (Supporting Initiatives to Redistribute Unused Medicine), AACI will host a webinar titled "Leveraging Oncology Surplus Medicine for Good" at 1:00 pm eastern time on Monday, August 10. The webinar was originally scheduled for Wednesday, June 2.
Every year in the United States, $11 billion worth of perfectly good, unopened medicine goes to waste. A surplus of $2 billion comes directly from oncology, yet the majority of cancer patients struggle with their high prescription costs. There are programs across the country that work to facilitate the donation and reuse of this surplus through repositories and charitable pharmacies. SIRUM—a national drug donation expert—works with policymakers, drug repository programs, and cancer centers to help facilitate this redistribution. To date, SIRUM has redistributed more than $350 million worth of prescription medications.
Learn more about how surplus medicine can be safely and effectively donated with presenters George Wang, PhD, SIRUM; Heather Jones, PharmD, MS, Cleveland Clinic; and Jennifer Booth, PharmD, MS, BCPS, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
