Patient Access Network Foundation

The PAN Foundation is driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to affordable, equitable healthcare. Were on a mission to accelerate access to treatment, advance equitable health outcomes, and advocate for a healthcare system that puts patients at the center.

As one of the nations leading patient advocacy and charitable foundations, we accelerate access to affordable, equitable treatment through financial assistance, advocacy, and education.

Since 2004, we have helped more than 1.1 million people living with serious illnesses access their needed treatments, achieved major policy victories that expanded access to care for millions of people, and empowered thousands of patients to navigate complex healthcare topics.

Financial assistance and support: We offer financial assistance for over 70 life-threatening, chronic, and rare diseases through 12-month grants, which patients can start using as soon as they are approved. Patients can also get help for their transportation costs to and from activities that improve your overall health, such as grocery stores, medical appointments, pharmacies, or social support. We also partner with a network of national patient support organizations who offer grant recipients disease-specific education, resources, and more. To maximize our impact, we also created a free app, FundFinder, that tracks funding availability at the PAN Foundation, as well as eight other charitable organizations. Users can sign up for real-time alerts to find out as soon as grant money becomes available so they can apply right away.
Advocacy: We lead the way in advocating for improved healthcare access, affordability, and equity so people can live the lives they deserve. We champion common-sense policies to lower out-of-pocket costs and increase healthcare access, equity, and affordability for people with Medicare and commercial insurance.
Education: We help patients, healthcare professionals, and the public navigate the complexities of healthcare by developing educational resources and materials around topics such Medicare Part D provisions, the federal Extra Help program and harmful barriers such as co-pay accumulators and alternative funding programs.
