Orlando , FL — After further assessment of damages incurred by Hurricane Ian, the OVAHCS Incident Command Team (ICS) has decided to keep the Daytona Beach Multispecialty Clinic closed to


Face to Face appointments and services for the week of October 3- 7, 2022.  Appointments will be converted to virtual modalities if appropriate and all other appointments will be


rescheduled.  Westside Pavilion and the Port Orange PRCC are operational but will have limited Face to Face appointment capabilities. Pharmacy services will not be operational.  Laboratory


services can be obtained at Deltona CBOC or any of our main clinics at Lake Nona, Lake Baldwin or Viera. IMPORTANT: Veteran patients can go to any local retail pharmacy to obtain needed


refills. Veteran patients must take an empty active VA prescription bottle (not older than 6 months and with refills available) or a new VA prescription on a VA form by an authorized VA


provider to a retail pharmacy. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. Link to emergency refill locations:  https://va.hhspharmacy.com/locations/index.html The HERITAGE HEALTH CUSTOMER
