Our patient-friendly process
When patients are struggling with serious illnesses, the last thing they need is another complicated process or another reason to do research to find additional support. Fortunately, our process is simple.

Every patient who reaches out to PAN for financial assistance has the opportunity to connect to an alliance partner—not just grant recipients.
From there, a representative from the alliance partner will contact the patient by phone or email to get to know the patient, understand where they are in their treatment journey, and connect them with needed resources.
Our voices are stronger when we speak up on behalf of patients together.
In addition to providing PAN patients with follow-up support services, we join forces with our alliance partners to advocate for healthcare reform.
