Turn your dollars into change.

92% of all donations go directly to helping people with financial assistance, legal assistance, case management and education. It’s a gift you can feel good about.

Friends of a Feather

Our Friends of a Feather monthly giving program is a club where members become a sustaining donor and make a difference in the lives of patients and their families living with chronic conditions. Give a little a lot. Making a monthly gift of at least $10 is an easy, cost-effective way to provide stability to ensure we can provide essential treatment year-round. Through donations, we are able to help patients access and afford necessary medications and treatments to restore hope to their lives.

  • Policy & Advocacy

    Use your voice.

    Advocacy is crucial for restoring hope and health to patients. There are several ways to get involved with our advocacy initiatives, such as contacting your representatives for timely legislative pushes and subscribing to our Action Alerts.

  • Patient & Caregiver Advisory Committee

    Improving patient assistance.

    As a member of our patient and caregiver advisory committee you will participate in discussion groups while reviewing and discussing patient assistance processes. We are looking for current Accessia Health patients or caregivers, any individual with chronic medical conditions, advocacy organization representatives, and subject-matter experts.

    For more information and to get involved, email programs@accessiahealth.org.

“It’s been such a relief and weight off our plates to know that our son has decent insurance with Accessia Health’s help and allows us to focus on providing him a childhood that allows him to grow socially, emotionally and physically healthy.”

Tami T. Queen

“I just wanted to let you know how thankful my family is that there are organizations like yours. My mom, Emily Thompson, lost her battle on December 31, 2021, but fought hard. She would have never been able to afford to keep doing her [treatments] if it weren’t for you.”

“I cannot say enough positive comments regarding the service Accessia Health gives to their patients. Without their help we would not have been able to have the medication needed to keep my husband here with me and our family for another two years after his diagnosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.”

“Accessia Health helps with my insurance premiums and medicine copays. As an HAE patient, this means I have access to the treatments that allow me to enjoy my birthday at the beach with my daughter (also living with HAE) and neither of us have to worry about having a swell!”

“Accessia Health not only helps individuals with the astronomical cost of some drugs; I would say they are helping to save lives. On behalf of myself and my mother, thank you for the assistance you have provided and for making the process simple and easy. Best wishes to everyone at Accessia Health who makes this service possible.”
