NAPLES, FL - Federal Agents raided a Naples Pharmacy - taking out dozens of boxes filled with evidence. The surprise operation went down at the Sunshine Pharmacy on Rattlesnake Hammock Road. It was a rainy day for Sunshine Pharmacy. One computer hard drive after another - along with dozens of boxes filled with evidence were loaded out its doors Thursday afternoon after the place was raided. "I was kind of shocked because I've been to the pharmacy before," said Rosario Falzule. The D.E.A. and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted the search, while the Collier County Narcotics team assisted. They couldn't release any specific information - other than they executed a search warrant. A special agent familiar with Thursday's search described what they look for during these Pharmacy raids. "We primarily investigate the allegations of healthcare fraud" says Ryan Lynch, Special Agent, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Office of Investigations. Lynch says they usually take evidence such as prescription filling records and inventory sheets from manufacturers and drugs. Link: Feds raid Naples pharmacy … Continue reading →

She said authorities were at Sunshine when she arrived for work at 10:30 a.m. "All I know is they had a bunch of federal agents and searched a car and were inside," she said.

LOS ANGELES & MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest nonprofit global HIV/AIDS organization, today announced that following its August 2012 acquisition of MOMS Pharmacy, a specialty pharmacy focused exclusively on providing medications and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS, it is fully incorporating and rebranding the chain into its own AHF Pharmacy brand. The name change will be effective immediately; however, due to compliance with state board of pharmacy regulations in states where MOMS has been operating as well as the need to replace signage, prescription labeling, collateral material and other fixtures, it is expected that the entire process of rebranding MOMS to AHF Pharmacy may not be fully completed until several months. AHF, founded in 1987, provides medical care and services to more than 185,000 individuals in 28 countries worldwide. AHF is also the largest non-profit provider of HIV/AIDS medical care in the United States. With the MOMS acquisition, it now operates 32 AHF Pharmacy and AHF Pharmacy Access Centers throughout California, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, Texas, Washington (state) and Washington, D.C. AHF Pharmacy specializes in HIV medications and offers complete medication/supplement analysis and automated 24-hour prescription refills, e-prescribing, and free, discreet home … Continue reading →
