MELVILLE, N.Y.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Allion Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALLI), today announced that it has entered into a partnership with Under One Roof to launch a Community Resource Center in San Francisco. The build-out of the new center begins this week with an anticipated opening date of January 1, 2009.

This Community Resource Center will share space with Allion's MOMS Pharmacy at its newest location in San Francisco. This new location allows Allion Healthcare to work closer with people living with HIV/AIDS to provide specialty pharmacy care as well as educational and community resources.

"Partnering with a leading HIV/AIDS organization such as Under One Roof will allow us an opportunity to extend our services through the 28 AIDS Service Organizations who reach over 10,000 patients in the San Francisco area," said Mike Moran, Allion Healthcare's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about our second alliance with a leading advocate for patients living with HIV/AIDS and look forward to expanding our services in the San Francisco communities where they are most needed."
