Awards & Accomplishments
PAF is honored to be the recipient of many distinguished recognitions and awards throughout our 27 years of service.
PAF’s most recent national recognitions include a Charity Navigator Four-Star rating, Candid’s Platinum Transparency 2023 award and Great Nonprofits’ 2022 Top-Rated Non-Profit designation. While the evaluation criteria used by each vary, these distinctions signify that the level and consistency of the financial stewardship applied to donations and the progress PAF is making toward its mission is among the best in the nation’s non-profit community.
"My dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest and open heart surgery was recommended due to my dad’s age. A non-invasive way to mitigate my dad’s condition and reduce the enlargement of his heart to help improve his quality of life was presented. This option was not approved by my family’s insurance provider. This organization understands compassionate advocacy in a way that hospitals and insurance companies sadly do not. What a weight lifted to know my father can have this surgery and get to spend more good years with his wife, kids, and grandkids."
"Our agency would like to express our support and appreciation for the Patient Advocate Foundation. Your organization has been helpful in providing information and resources to assist those who are in need. Access to healthcare remains one of the vital and growing concerns of the Western Tidewater community. "
"While a cancer diagnosis is difficult in itself, the endless difficulty in communication with healthcare companies is even more difficult! For now, we have what appears to be a better understanding of the coverage we have available should the specialty hormone therapy medication be the choice my husband makes. Thank you so much for your assistance! We appreciate your help! God bless you in the days to come!"
