PAF Mission & History
It Starts with the Patient
“Some patients suffer tremendous financial consequences as a result of illness while others begin their journey already disadvantaged by their pre-existing socio-economic circumstances. Whatever the case, we know that the unique needs of vulnerable, low-income patients can be addressed with navigation to critical resources like food, housing, utilities, and transportation.”
