Every New Yorker deserves access to high-quality healthcare. The #340B program ensures safety-net providers, like Callen-Lorde, can continue to be there for everyone, always. We must #Protect340B to so that hospitals and clinics across the state can keep caring for the most vulnerable communities.

What does #340B mean? It means being there for all patients, producing better outcomes and delivering a bigger impact for taxpayers. The 340B Program enables safety-net hospitals and clinics, like Callen-Lorde, to reduce drug costs for patients and reinvest in care, at NO COST to taxpayers.
