The Louisiana State Pharmaceutical Association began a drive for emergency medications badly needed on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in lower Plaquemines Parish.
Pharmacists, drug whole-s a 1 e r s and manufacturers were a^xed to donate medications through Dr. Rodney C Jung, director of the New O’ leans Health Department, the Communicable Disf Clinic on the first floor of Hall.
