Testimonial

If not for the help I have received to help with my insurance premium assistance, I would not have been able to receive the medication for my rheumatoid arthritis. I genuinely do not what I would have done without the help of this foundation, since my prescription is vital for me to have mobility. My limitations and inability to pay for my medicine is also due to my husband's cardiac condition after suffering multiple strokes, and most recently costly chemo treatments for bladder cancer. We have extreme medical bills, therefore it goes beyond appreciation - HealthWell has been a lifesaver for me. The caring and efficient staff have made it a pleasant experience for me every time I have had to call with a question.
