Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. Pharmacist services are necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy.

The hourly fee for the second year is the same amount charged in the first year. The contract compliance number is 311201354.
