When we talk about patient navigation and financial toxicity, the conversation often centers on navigators embedded in health systems, social workers in clinical settings, or the growing number of digital tools designed to connect patients with assistance programs. All of these matter enormously. But there is another navigator – one who may be uniquely positioned to catch patients before they fall through the cracks. A person who rarely gets named in this conversation: the independent community pharmacist.

It`s Clinical Trials Day! Did you know that, according to our friends at FamilyReach, thousands of cancer patients turn down or stop participating in clinical trials due to high out-of-pocket costs? Clinical trials play a vital role in advancing medical care by providing patients with access to innovative treatments and empowering health care providers to help shape the future of medicine. Whether you are exploring participation yourself or supporting someone through the process, awareness is the first step. Together, we can expand equitable access to innovative, potentially lifesaving treatments.

May is ALS Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and the challenges faced by those living with the disease.
For many patients and families, the impact of ALS extends beyond health—bringing significant financial strain from costly treatments, medical equipment, caregiving needs, and ongoing care. At HealthWell, we believe cost should never stand in the way of care. We’re proud to help ease the financial burden so patients can focus on what matters most.
HealthWell’s Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Fund provides up to $15,000 in financial assistance to help eligible patients cover out-of-pocket medical expenses, so individuals and families can focus on what matters most: time, care, and quality of life.
To learn more, determine eligibility, and apply for assistance, visit our Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Fund page via the Disease Funds link in our bio.
It`s #GlobalPorphyriaDay! According to our friends at United Porphyrias Association, today is an annual day of awareness, where we come together as a community to share our stories and advocate for greater understanding, timely diagnosis and a world free from the pain and challenges of porphyria.
At HealthWell, we understand the financial impact that a porphyrias diagnosis can have on individuals and their families. HealthWell`s Porphyrias Fund provides up to $4,000 in prescription drug copayment or insurance premium (Medicare Part B only) assistance to eligible patients with annual household incomes up to 500 percent of the federal poverty level for the management of their disease.

During National Women`s Health Week, we’re raising awareness about the diseases that disproportionately affect women and the financial challenges that can come with managing them. Many women face high out-of-pocket costs for essential medications and treatment for diseases such as ovarian cancer, multiple sclerosis, Cushing`s disease, pulmonary hypertension, and more. At HealthWell, we’re proud to help patients access the care they need through financial assistance and support. Every woman deserves access to affordable care and the opportunity to prioritize their health.

We`re so close to reaching our $350,00 goal for our 2026 Annual Fund campaign, but we`re not quite there yet! We’re extending the deadline of our Annual Fund campaign by 30 days. Why 30 days? Because in that short span of time, HealthWell expects to receive as many as 45,000 calls from people seeking financial assistance for the medical treatments they need. 45,000 calls!
Meeting our Annual Fund goal isn’t an arbitrary exercise — it’s about making sure real people, with nowhere else to turn, get the help they need to access lifesaving health care. Your generosity will help ensure we can say the five words every person seeking assistance so desperately wants to hear — “Yes, we can help you!”
