“About SIRUM: SIRUM is a non-profit that saves lives by saving unused medicine and delivering it to where it can do the most good. We recognize that no clinic wants to see patients go without medications they need just because they cannot afford them. Our program allows clinic pharmacies to create and share a formulary of medications needed, or request medicines as the need arises. We then connect clinics with a network of institutional medicine donors that have unused expired medications, coordinating shipment directly from the donor to clinic. SIRUM’s simple system enables closed, safe, and hassle-free peer-to-peer redistribution.
Colorado Expansion: SIRUM is currently collaborating with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to promote medicine donation as an alternative to medical and hazardous waste destruction. Since January of this year, SIRUM has presented at multiple stakeholder meetings convened by CDPHE, sharing its program with health facilities, pharmacies, medical associations and state regulators. Because of the enthusiasm and cross-sectoral support, SIRUM has ready launched a pilot program in the state, and is actively seeking to connect with clinic pharmacies that are interested in establishing their own medicine redistribution programs. For more information, visit sirum.org or contact SIRUM co-founder, Kiah Williams (kiah@sirum.org). ” [Source: SIRUM]
