Approved and Donation Ready
This fund has been developed in response to patients who have contacted PAF for help with their medication expenses and could not find help. While this fund has been fully designed and we are ready to provide needed support to these patient communities, this fund is not yet able to accept applications for assistance as we are still working to secure charitable donations that will allow us to open it.
If you, or someone you know, would like to contribute to this fund, please visit our Donors page for more information on how to provide critical support for patients in need.

About Hyperlipidemia Health Equity Fund
Hyperlipidemia is an umbrella term that refers to any of several acquired or genetic disorders that result in a high level of lipids (fats, cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the blood, increasing the risk of developing atherosclerosis. The amount and types of fat and cholesterol in the blood are determined by a person’s genetic makeup and environmental factors. Having hyperlipidemia significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease (heart), cerebrovascular disease (brain) and peripheral vascular disease (limbs) with age. There are six types of hyperlipidemia, Type I (hyperchylomicronemia), Type IIa (familial hypercholesterolemia) & IIb (familial combined hyperlipidemia), Type III (familial dysbetalipoproteinemia), Type IV (familial hyperlipidemia) and Type V (hypertriglyceridemia).
Our Health Equity Funds were developed to get assistance to those people and places who need it the most. Developed using the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and CDC Disease Incidence data, our Health Equity Funds serve people living in 220 counties across the United States that have been identified by the CDC as having the highest social vulnerability scores and are burdened with high rates of chronic diseases. The Health Equity Funds are designed to specifically provide support to eligible patients living in one of the 220 counties covered by the funds, which is verified using the zip code of the patient’s home address. All other eligibility requirements, and fund operation, are the same as our general funds.
