Who We Are
We are a partnership of community health centers, patient, provider, and consumer advocates, and leaders from the biopharmaceutical industry working to ensure the 340B program supports true safety-net providers and the communities they serve.
Our members have not always seen eye-to-eye on how to improve the 340B program. But we have come together now because of the urgent need for action. This unlikely alliance reinforces the urgency for action today to ensure the long-term viability of the program for tomorrow.
​
As we continue to grow the alliance, it will reflect the voices of a broad range of safety-net providers who support strengthening the 340B program.
