Happy Wednesday! This month’s EHHOP Case of the Month is about syphilis testing algorithms. Learn about the two categories of screening test for syphilis: treponemal and non-treponemal tests.

Happy Monday everyone! Let’s commend students Celestine He, Sheena Kalagara, and all other contributors for their tremendous research on how EHHOP has mitigated the increasing cost of pharmacy medications for the growing EHHOP patient population.

The results of this research is a testament to EHHOP’s dedication to the health of its patients and ingenuity within a constantly changing health care system.
We thank you all for your continued support of EHHOP.
