The Alliance to Save America’s 340B Program is proud to welcome our newest members to the coalition; the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Patients Rising, the National Council of Urban Indian Health and the International Foundation for Autoimmune & Inflammatory Arthritis (AiArthritis).
These new partners are leaders in the health care provider and patient advocate communities and lend an important voice to our collective mission to ensure the 340B program supports true safety-net providers and the communities they serve.
The American Association of Nurse Practitioners, representing over 385,000 licensed nurse practitioners nationwide, is dedicated to advancing accessible, person-centered, equitable, high-quality health care for diverse communities through practice, education, advocacy, research and leadership.
Founded in 1975, the National Association of Hispanic Nurses promotes professional excellence among bilingual and bicultural nurses. Their extensive network of more than 40 chapters and over 1,900 members brings a wealth of experience and dedication to ensuring high-quality health care delivery to Hispanic communities.
