About The 340B Pharmacy Program
Congress created the 340B program to help uninsured and low-income patients gain better access to affordable prescription medications. The savings from the lower drug costs are passed along to patients and all profits received by the pharmacy go directly back into the health center to support jobs, programs and community outreach services that are often free to community members.
