See how the 340B Program gives more Kansans access to life-saving medications and care close to home.
If you’re not familiar with the 340B Program, you might be surprised to learn that it has such a positive impact. The 340B Program expands much-needed health resources in communities all across our state, making affordable health care more accessible for all. It is funded by multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies, which means the 340B Program creates healthier Kansas communities at no cost to Kansas taxpayers.
Right now, the program is at risk. Pharmaceutical companies are changing the rules to limit access to the 340B Program to protect their profits – but as Kansans, we know the right thing to do is protect patients. Don’t wait. Make your voice heard today:
Currently, more than 85 Kansas hospitals participate in the 340B Program – a large majority. The 340B Program provides savings on prescription drug purchases that hospitals pass along to patients – and it often funds additional services that strengthen access to care in other ways.
