340B Program Benefits
Strengthening access to healthcare and supporting the long-term health of our communities.
As a Critical Access Hospital, Redington-Fairview General Hospital participates in the federal 340B Program, which helps eligible healthcare organizations stretch limited resources and expand access to care. The program enables participating hospitals to invest their savings in services and programs that benefit the patients and communities they serve.
Participation in the 340B Program enables Redington-Fairview to continue its mission of providing high-quality healthcare close to home, while addressing the unique challenges of delivering care in a rural community.
How the 340B Program Benefits Our Community
Savings generated through the 340B Program help Redington-Fairview General Hospital strengthen healthcare services and improve access to care throughout our region.
These savings help support:
- Financial assistance for eligible patients
- Prescription Assistance Program for patients who need help affording medications
- Access to specialty healthcare services close to home
- Community health education and outreach programs
- Essential healthcare services that are often difficult for rural hospitals to sustain
- Investments in programs and services that improve the health of our communities
Why the Program Matters
Like many rural hospitals, Redington-Fairview serves a large number of Medicare and Medicaid patients, as well as individuals who may be uninsured or underinsured. Reimbursement from government programs and insurance plans often does not fully cover the cost of providing care.
The 340B Program helps hospitals like Redington-Fairview make the most of limited healthcare resources, allowing us to continue providing services that patients rely on while investing in programs that improve access to care throughout our service area.
Improving Access to Care
The 340B Program supports Redington-Fairview's ongoing commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of our communities by helping us:
- Improve access to medications and healthcare services
- Expand programs that support patients facing financial barriers
- Maintain important healthcare services in rural central Maine
- Invest in community health initiatives and patient support programs
- Strengthen healthcare access for future generations
