PAN’s financial assistance, advocacy, and education featured in Rare Revolution Magazine

There are 25 to 30 million people in the United States living with a rare disease, according to the National Institutes of Health, or roughly the combined population of Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Treating chronic and rare diseases often comes with high out-of-pocket costs, and in the U.S., even those who have health insurance coverage are worried about the price of managing their health.

In this article for Rare Revolution Magazine, PAN’s Chief Mission Officer Amy Niles talks about the important safety net role of charitable patient assistance foundations and discusses how to connect with financial assistance and educational resources. She also highlights the more than 25 rare disease financial assistance funds offered by PAN, and PAN’s advocacy work to support patients and their loved ones across the country.
