Our ImpactSince launching our first fund in 2004, HealthWell has provided financial assistance – and hope – to over 95,000 patients, many of whom could not have afforded their treatments without HealthWell’s support: individuals like Keith from Florida, who stopped his medication and risked going blind in order not to become a financial drain to his family; or Nancy from Indiana, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and couldn’t afford her treatments following a 200% increase in her insurance premium. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Keith, Nancy and thousands of others now have access to life-saving and life-changing medications.

Your organization is awesome! I received a heart transplant in 2001. Through 2008, my job provided affordable insurance. That changed in 2009 - the new plan had a HUGE deductible. I was at a loss as to how I was going to be able to pay for my meds and keep a roof over my head and food on the table for my daughter and me. I tried to get assistance from a few places to no avail, and then was referred to HealthWell by my doctor. The application process was simple and the response was quick. I was approved for the help I so desperately needed. A mountain of stress was lifted from my shoulders when I received the news HealthWell was going to help me. Phillip, Missouri City, TX |
