340B Good Stewardship Program

The federal 340B Drug Pricing Program is more than a policy; it’s a lifeline that allows us to provide affordable medications and reinvest savings into tailored solutions that address the unique needs of our communities. As the state’s only comprehensive academic health system, we deliver specialized care unavailable elsewhere and reach rural and underserved communities with hope and healing.

Every dollar saved through 340B strengthens our effort to break down barriers, expand access, and ensure that quality healthcare is not a privilege, but a promise. Preserving this program means preserving the health and future of Oklahoma.

The 340B Impact in Our Community

The 340B Drug Pricing Program is essential to OU Health’s mission of changing lives through discovery and healing. By leveraging this program, we extend our reach beyond clinical care to address the root causes of health disparities across the state.

Our work focuses on five key priorities: Access to healthy food, healthcare, education, housing, and employment, because we know health starts where people live, learn, work, and grow. Through these efforts, OU Health is building stronger, healthier communities and ensuring every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
