Plans for a July 1 grand opening of a Casa Ruby PrEP Art Boutique in a first-floor store front office at 2002 R St., N.W. in the Dupont Circle neighborhood have been temporarily postponed as efforts to get the space ready continue, according to Casa Ruby founder and executive director Ruby Corado.
Corado said the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration earlier this year certified Casa Ruby to open a pharmacy for underserved populations known as a “340B program” pharmacy.
She noted the certification will enable Casa Ruby to begin providing PrEP prescriptions for its clients on July 1 at Casa Ruby’s main location at 7530 Georgia Ave, N.W.
