The Closed POD Partner Program (CP3) works with large employers, institutions, and healthcare facilities to help employees, residents, and their families easily access emergency medications during a public health emergency. Local businesses and institutions are encouraged to become a part of CP3.
By involving the public sector, facilities can prevent their employees from illness and minimize the impact upon day-to-day operations. Through this partnership, medications can be distributed quickly, and resources are utilized efficiently.
