Peer Learning Collaboratives
Member Benefit
ACH Learning Collaboratives
ACH’s Learning Collaboratives (LC) are an educational approach using fresh ideas, inventive thinking, and actions to enhance learning by working together with other health center leaders and experts in the field. Through these collaboratives, ACH unites various disciplines to address the pressing issues facing health centers today, and as community health challenges shift and develop, so do the topics. LCs are an opportunity for ACH’s health center leaders to directly tackle health care challenges and equip themselves with tangible knowledge to enact real change.

What to Expect
Practice-Based Learning & Action
While webinars are educational presentations where attendees typically submit questions or comments after the presentation, participants in a LC engage as a group to discuss the concepts presented and engage in peer-to-peer learning by sharing ideas, asking questions, debating, and listening to other perspectives. Participants may also develop or pilot tools and resources that are shared in a learning session to help reach their goals.
Upcoming 340B Learning Collaborative
ACH’s 340B Learning Collaborative, sponsored by Equiscript, will enable health center leaders to strengthen their 340B programs. Participants, alongside experts in the field, will share on navigating changes in the 340B program, and strategies for implementation. Participants will identify operational strategies and identify addressing the ‘pain points’ of the 340B program, as well as new models and strategies for revenue retention.
Format & Program
- Face-to-Face Workshops: The LCs will meet in person twice in March and October 2026. The LC will launch with a half day in-person event in Washington, DC prior to ACH’s Annual Member Meeting in March 2026; the final session will take place in Dallas, TX during ACH’s Best Practices Showcase in October 2026. Faculty will include ACH and leaders from Equiscript, subject matter experts, and other leaders in the 340B program.
- Virtual Sessions: Between the two in-person sessions, LC members will meet monthly online, with asynchronous materials and engaging synchronous discussions and presentations. Each of the three virtual workshops will last one hour in length and provide a deep-dive presentation on a topic specifically relevant to the peer group’s interest.
Learning Collaborative Participants Will:
- Navigate the pain points of the current 340B program, addressing restrictions on contract pharmacies, the impact of rebate models, and barriers to accessing 340B pricing in order to reduce revenue loss.
- Discuss the expansion of Mail Order and In-House Pharmacies, exploring capital needs, considerations for compliance, and determining the Return on Investment (ROI) for new pharmacy models.
- Share and implement best practices and strategies for improving patient capture to retain revenue from specialty and high-cost drugs.
- Explore the ways in which health centers can reinvest 340B savings directly into patient care and share these stories in order to demonstrate the 340B program’s value for community health centers.
- Build a network of peers and stakeholders within the health center community to foster collaboration, share program implementation challenges and solutions.
