REP. HENRY WAXMAN received the Lifetime Achievement Award from The 340B Coalition.

The coalition honored the California congressman for his role in the creation of the 340B drug discount program and for his stewardship of it over the years.

Waxman, who is retiring from Congress at the end of the year, received the award during the opening of the coalition’s 18th annual meeting. The coalition is an umbrella organization of groups that represent safety-net providers and programs participating in the 340B program.

Past recipients of the award include Sen. Tom Harkin, and former Sen. Jeff Bingaman.
