Help Us Assist One Million More Patients in Need

GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The HealthWell Foundation^®, an independent non-profit charitable organization that provides financial assistance for underinsured Americans, has launched its 2024 GivingTuesday Campaign. HealthWell's campaign will run from November 19, 2024, through December 3, 2024, the official day of giving.

Since 2012, GivingTuesday has inspired millions around the world to unleash the power of their generosity to help others. This year, HealthWell was proud to achieve a significant milestone by providing financial assistance to one million patients. HealthWell's goal for this year's GivingTuesday initiative is to increase awareness about the Foundation's life-changing work and to raise critical financial resources that will help it to continue to be a financial lifeline to the next million patients who reach out for assistance.

As part of the campaign, HealthWell will feature stories and videos on its social channels from grant recipients who have been touched by the Foundation's life-changing work. HealthWell is also spreading the news about the campaign on an electronic billboard in the heart of Times Square, which will run through the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, as well as through featured stories on HealthWell's blog, Real World Health Care.

Michael S. Heimall, FACHE, HealthWell President & Chief Executive Officer, commented on the campaign, "As we kick-off this season of giving, we are forever mindful of the impact a single dollar can have in the life of someone living with a chronic or life-altering illness. At HealthWell, we live and breathe this reality every day. But for over one million Americans, a grant from HealthWell could have been the difference between life and death, or putting food on the table, or losing their home because of the financial toxicity that comes with a chronic illness."

Heimall continued, "Through our GivingTuesday initiatives, we want to spread the word about our life-changing work and let people know that we are here to help. We want every American to know us before they need us. We provide critical financial resources so underinsured patients can access and continue prescribed treatments that may otherwise be unattainable. We can only do this through the support and generosity of our individual and corporate donors. Thank you to our dedicated donors who continue to place their trust in us to carry out our mission and for helping us change the lives of patients who have nowhere else to turn."

Your donation of any amount will allow HealthWell to help the next one million patients who might forgo critical, potentially lifesaving, medical treatments simply because their health insurance is not enough. Visit HealthWell's GivingTuesday page to learn more about the Foundation and to make your tax-deductible donation on or before December 3, 2024. 100 percent of your donation is put to work immediately to help a patient in need.

HealthWell understands that not everyone can make a financial contribution to support its mission. Helping HealthWell spread the word is also a critical, and highly valued, contribution. Connect with HealthWell through social media and help make a difference in the life of a patient in need today!
