Lloyd F. Moss Free Clinic, as well as NOVA ScriptsCentral Inc., will be able to access bulk generic medications periodically from donors that also support AMP with donated medication. 4. RxP will influence the pharmaceutical field at large by piloting AMP, a sustainable and replicable model for generic medication access.
