Why Support Patient Advocate Foundation?

PAF, it's vital and it's saving lives!” Veronica’s story

Our patient's need your help. 

Everyday our staff answers dozens of calls from patients, just like Bob Taylor, who are facing chronic, life-threatening or debilitating disease and are in need of help to receive the care their doctor recommends.    

We are here to help each patient identify solutions that can reduce the barriers impacting their life. 

We Have Helped Patients for Over 20 Years

Navigating the U.S. healthcare system is difficult for anyone - but for people with chronic, life-threatening, or disabling conditions, it can be nearly impossible. From administrative red tape and insurance denials, to staggering out-of-pocket costs and a shrinking safety net with limited live support, countless barriers stand between patients and their ability to survive - let alone heal.

For nearly 30 years, PAF has been on the front lines - bridging critical gaps in access for patients and their families and amplifying their shared experiences.

Now we invite you to be part of that impact.

Take a closer look at our vital work and how you can join us in driving impact.

GIVING IMPACT

"On behalf of my father, I thank you. I thank whoever is the source of your grants, and all employees and/or volunteers. My father’s surgery was a success and he is on the road to recovery. Your generosity of financial support is greatly appreciated. My father is looking forward to celebrating his 61st wedding anniversary next month and enjoys his four children, six grandchildren and pet dogs."
"As a person with two chronic illnesses, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, life gives you challenges. PAF reviewed my meditations and what co-pay assistance is available to defray my cost. They show local, state, and county benefits, such as fuel assistance, utilities shut-off protection, transitional assistance with food, medical bills, etc. PAF is a direct patient advocate from eligibility, enrollment and to approval. This is a wonderful organization. They decipher to mountains of directions and get patient to the help available. My sincere thanks."
"You have motivated me to be more assertive in staying on top of my medical problems, thank you for your kind Help."
"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."
“I was overwhelmed – no insurance, very limited income, and a diagnosis that knocked the wind out of me. My patient advocate guided me, gave me options – even conference-called with me to help get answers and get started on a road that provided me with much needed information and assistance both emotionally and financially. I am forever grateful!!”
