In the wake of a recent New York Times investigation into alleged misuse of 340B savings by Catholic health system Bon Secours Mercy in Richmond, Va., a local Richmond newspaper has published a comprehensive look at the purpose and value of the 340B program, particularly for community health centers.
The Times investigative piece focused on Bon Secours’ alleged redirection of 340B revenue from its program-eligible hospital in Richmond—a stripped-down facility lacking an ICU, basic supplies, and key specialty services located in a low-income, majority Black neighborhood—and diverting it to help fund state-of-the-art facilities in more privileged suburbs. The revelation was met with outrage from the community and policymakers, with the latter calling for increased oversight of the 340B program.
