The 340B Drug Discount Program is a federal program created in 1992 that requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations and covered entities at significantly reduced prices. The intent of the program is to allow covered entities to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services. Maintaining services and lowering medication costs for patients is consistent with the purpose of the program, which is named for the section authorizing it in the Public Health Service Act (PHSA)[4][5][6] It was enacted by Congress as part of a larger bill signed into law by President George HW Bush.DHC’s pharmacy is located at Dr. H. Jack Geiger Medical Center in Mound Bayou and are distributed to all centers.
