Uniting for patients
Patient Advocate Foundation and PAN Foundation announced a strategic merger to create the nation’s most comprehensive nonprofit dedicated to helping people navigate, access, and afford care.
Patient Advocate Foundation is a single, trusted destination for financial help, personalized case management, patient advocacy, and more.
With more than 50 years of combined experience, the unified organization will help people navigate, access, and afford the care they need—at a time when healthcare costs and barriers to care continue to rise.
