Meeting the Pharmaceutical Shipping Needs in the New Pee Dee Health Region

Abstract

As the chief procurement officer for the Pee Dee Health Region, it is the author's responsibility to ensure that staff in the region has the supplies and services needed to perform their jobs. Since the former Public Health Region 6 expanded in the reorganization from three counties to twelve, procurement operations as a whole have undergone dramatic and sweeping changes, and continue to evolve almost daily. This project will focus primarily on providing essential pharmaceutical supplies to eighteen widely scattered health departments located throughout the Pee Dee Region.
