Over Half a Billion Dollars in Financial Support Received & More Than a Billion Dollars in Assistance Provided to Patients
The HealthWell Foundation®, an independent non-profit charitable organization that provides financial assistance for underinsured Americans, has published preliminary results of its 2025 operations.
The 2025 Year in Review highlights the $530 million* in financial support HealthWell received from individual and corporate donors – support that allowed HealthWell to award over $1.1 billion* in medication copayment and insurance premium assistance through more than 440,000 grants* to over 420,000 underinsured patients*.
Other highlights of 2025 include:
- HealthWell’s #17 ranking on the Forbes’ 2025 List of America’s Top 100 Charities.
- The launch or reopening of 15 funds, including funds to assist people living with Neuroendocrine Tumors, Parkinson’s disease, and Bronchiectasis.
- The support for underinsured individuals hit hardest by spiking ACA insurance premiums through a fund to help cover those costs.
- A successful GivingTuesday campaign that exceeded its goal by more than $85,000*.
“While 2025 was a year of transition for charitable patient assistance programs, HealthWell remained solidly committed to the mission we have held dear since awarding our first grant in 2004: to reduce financial barriers to care for underinsured patients with chronic or life-altering diseases,” said Michael S. Heimall, FACHE, HealthWell President & CEO. “We are humbled by the trust and generosity of our corporate and individual donors, whose support allows us to help those who often have nowhere else to turn.”
