Without 340B the Community Health Centers in Florida will not be able to provide affordable medications to patients. Where will these patients go for affordable medications?

340B enables the Community Health Centers in Florida to expand services and care for more patients regardless of their ability to pay. Where will these patients go when Community Health Centers close their doors?

Without 340B, our Community Health Centers in Florida will have to close locations and reduce their hours of operation, limiting the access to quality healthcare for those in the communities they serve.

Andrés is a construction worker and one of the many leaders of #QueCalor. Today, he spoke for thousands of outdoor workers in Miami who are forced to work in farms, nurseries, and construction sites without any heat standard to protect them. #WaterShadeRest

Each December 1, people from around the world wear red.
We wear red to mark World AIDS Day.
We wear red to honor the lives lost.
We wear red to find a cure.
As Miami-Dade continues to lead the US in new cases, we must continue to spread awareness & fight to end this epidemic.
