National Patient Advocate Foundation

The National Patient Advocate Foundation, the advocacy affiliate of the Patient Advocate Foundation, represents the patient voice, both the powerful stories of individuals and the collective needs of the community. Our staff and volunteers work at the local, regional, and national level to promote access to affordable, quality health care for people with chronic, debilitating, or life-threatening illnesses. We are thought leaders in developing policies that protect patients and caregivers from lack of transparency, medical debt and lack of access to care at key points during their illness.
