Welcome to the HealthWell Foundation

The HealthWell Foundation® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2003 that is committed to addressing the needs of individuals with insurance who cannot afford their copayments, coinsurance, and premiums for important medical treatments. Our vision is to ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.

As patients are required to pay a larger share of health care costs each year, even many individuals with insurance find health care unaffordable. These patients face challenges affording the treatments they need to fight chronic and life-altering medical conditions. The HealthWell Foundation was established to address and help alleviate this problem.

Testimonial

We would like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. When Sue was diagnosed with breast cancer, we were emotionally crushed. Then, when the medical bills started coming in, we truly didn't know what we were going to do. When we were facing the possibility of Sue not being able to continue her treatments, Dr. Jones told us about HealthWell and suggested we give you a call. You gave us hope when there was none left. We are still struggling financially, but Sue is doing great and her doctor says she is now cancer free. Our faith is strong and our spirits are high, mainly, due to you. You truly are angels of mercy.

—Bill and Sue, McKinney, TX
