Programs
The PAN Foundation operates financial assistance, advocacy, and education initiatives to help accelerate access to care for those who need it most. Through its more than 80 disease-specific financial assistance programs, PAN serves well over 100,000 patients each year from every US state and territory. Without the PAN Foundation’s support, these patients would have faced impossible choices—with many simply going without their life-saving treatment.PAN advocates for change alongside its patient advocates and partners through policymaker outreach and education, research and polling within its Center for Patient Research, an annual Advocacy Action Summit that brings patients to connect with their elected officials on Capitol Hill, and campaigns and patient storytelling. In addition, PAN leads educational initiatives that focus on topics that are often hard to explain and even more challenging for people to navigate—including recent Medicare Part D reforms, clinical trials, the federal Extra Help program, alternative funding programs, and copay accumulators.
In 2024, PAN launched a new Opening Doors to Clinical Trials national initiative aimed at creating a movement to increase diversity in clinical trials.
