Since 2012, GivingTuesday has inspired millions around the world to unleash the power of their generosity to help others. The concept resonates deeply with all of us here at HealthWell, as we spend each day assisting thousands of underinsured Americans in accessing critical, often lifesaving, medical treatments.

This year HealthWell is proud to celebrate twenty years of providing Help, Healing and HOPE by offering a financial lifeline to underinsured Americans to help them afford lifesaving medications and treatments they otherwise would forgo due to cost.

This is a reality for many Americans, as illustrated in our 20^th Anniversary collection of patient stories. Inside, you’ll read words of thanks from a few of our grateful grant recipients whose lives were touched by HealthWell. Their stories are truly inspirational, and the Foundation is thankful for their willingness to share so others may know they are not alone.

We invite you to flip through the book to learn about children like Arielle and Joelle, who count on HealthWell for the medications they need to HELP extend their life expectancy. Dennis talks about HEALING – in fact, he’s been cured of his Hepatitis C with the help of his HealthWell grant. And Melissa thanks HealthWell for restoring her HOPE in the midst of her battle with breast cancer. They are just a few of the over 900,000 patients and families HealthWell has been honored to serve over the last 20 years, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.
