Chronic Disease Fund, Inc.

Our vision is a world in which no one has to choose between access to care and everyday necessities so that people can have more good days.

Our Mission - Good Days is a national non-profit charitable organization that lifts the burdens of chronic illness through assistance, advocacy, and awareness.

About Us - Good Days is a national non-profit advocacy organization that provides patient assistance and financial resources for life-saving and life-extending treatments to people in need.
Good Days makes life-saving and life-extending treatments affordable.

Good Days supports many patients with chronic and rare conditions across the U.S. by covering costly co-pays, allowing families to receive treatment without destroying their finances.

In some cases, Good Days also provides additional financial assistance for health insurance premiums and treatment-related travel expenses. Thanks to our expert Patient Care Navigators, Good Days provides emotional support over the phone and can connect patients and families to disease-specific resources.
