The importance of 340B to the patient care mission has never been greater—and neither have the challenges. With increased scrutiny, evolving policy pressure, and intensifying operational complexity, health systems need clear priorities and disciplined execution to protect savings, sustain compliance, and preserve patient access.

Join McKesson at the 30th Annual 340B Coalition Summer Conference, July 13–15 in National Harbor, MD. Visit the McKesson booth #401 to connect with our Professional & Advisory Services team—including Heather Easterling, VP, Professional & Advisory Solutions and nationally recognized 340B expert.

As one of the industry’s leading voices, Heather also authored the new 340B Program Handbook: Integrating 340B into the Health System-Pharmacy Supply Chain, 2nd Edition, from ASHP. Heather continues to lead 340B discussions through her speaking engagements, bringing practical insight from her work with health systems navigating evolving policy and compliance challenges.

Hospital pharmacies are navigating a policy environment defined by overlapping reforms, escalating drug pricing enforcement, and growing state level fragmentation. The challenge is no longer reacting to individual rules, but managing cumulative policy risk that reshapes margins, operations, and long-term strategy.

To help you gain a clear view of the policy and regulatory forces reshaping 340B, McKesson’s Second Annual Market Outlook Report, just released, connects these changes to real operational and financial implications—helping you evaluate priorities, plan next steps, and connect insight to action to drive stronger performance and help the business of pharmacy achieve more for the advancement of patient health.
