What is 340B?

340B is a government program that enables covered entities to provide care to eligible patients who would otherwise not be able to afford medical services. They are able to do this thanks to discounted pharmaceutical prices that are available only through 

According to hrsa.gov, “The 340B Program enables covered entities to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services.

Manufacturers participating in Medicaid agree to provide outpatient drugs to covered entities at significantly reduced prices.”

What organizations make up the 340B Coalition and conference?

340B programs are run primarily by community health centers, family planning clinics, STD and HIV clinics, Hospitals, Pharmacies and more.

What is the Burn Institute?

Pre-COVID, the 340B conference would host a fun run/walk fundraiser for a specific charity. Because the conference is remote this year, the conference chose a simple online fundraiser for Burn Institute.

According to the 340B Winter Conference website, “Each year, the Burn Institute reaches 1,000s of youth, adults, and seniors in San Diego and Imperial Counties. With our programs and services, we help prevent fires – and the injuries that can result. For individuals with burn injuries and their families, we provide support programs and financial assistance that gives coping skills, true community, and hope.”
