Key people at The Assistance Fund.
The Assistance Fund was founded in 2009 by Jacques Fu (IT Director, Co-founder).
The Assistance Fund operates as a charitable organization providing financial assistance to insured patients managing life-changing diseases. It specifically addresses high out-of-pocket medical costs, offering support for co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles. The organization manages over one hundred disease-specific programs, each designed to cover FDA-approved treatments for the respective conditions.
Established in 2009, The Assistance Fund was founded on the recognition that even insured individuals often face significant financial hurdles that prevent them from accessing vital medical care. This insight underscored a critical gap in healthcare accessibility, driving the creation of a direct financial aid mechanism for those struggling with substantial treatment expenses.
The organization serves insured patients who encounter financial barriers to their medical treatments. Its overarching mission is to ensure that individuals with serious conditions can overcome these monetary obstacles. The long-term vision for The Assistance Fund is to reach a point where no patient must forgo necessary treatment simply because they cannot afford it.
