Under siege by policymakers, the controversial 340B drug discount program appears to be widely embraced by its 1,300 member hospitals that participated in a recent national survey. 

Moreover, the survey revealed that members are using savings to provide critical services and access to care to patients with low incomes and those living in under-served rural communities. Reporting on this survey results and the import of its findings during this edition of Monitor Mondays Maureen Testoni, president and CEO for 340B Health. 

Other segments to appear during the live broadcast include:
