A pivotal aspect of Miller’s responsibilities is the administration of the 340B program, a vital initiative for Community Health Northwest Florida as a federally qualified Health Center. This program plays a crucial role in supporting uninsured and underinsured individuals within the community by alleviating financial burdens associated with medication costs and facilitating the expansion of essential services.
