DAF Day 2026 is here! Join thousands of Americans making Thursday, October 8th, the collective movement signifying bigger and better giving - with Donor Advised Funds! @DAFDayOfficial brings together donors, non-profits, and DAF providers to inspire DAF giving for the causes that they care about most.
All around this country, there are far too many of our fellow Americans who struggle with affording the high costs of their medications and treatments. Sometimes, a few hundred dollars to cover out-of-pocket medical expenses can be a lifeline. We hope you`ll join us in celebrating DAF Day and making a meaningful difference for the next grant recipient who reaches out to HealthWell for help when they need it most.

Health care costs and affordability top the public’s list of economic anxieties in the U.S., according to recent polling by KFF, a leading U.S. health policy organization. Even people with insurance say they struggle to afford health care costs, including people with Medicare.
While Medicare provides health insurance coverage to 70 million people age 65 or older and younger adults with long-term disabilities, having Medicare coverage does not insulate beneficiaries from health-related affordability challenges, such as not getting needed medical care due to costs or incurring medical debt. In a 2026 KFF Health Tracking Poll, nearly half (49%) of all Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older say they expect their health care costs to become less affordable in the next year.

We`re thrilled to announce our participation in the Maryland Charity Campaign! The Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC) is a workplace charitable giving program that offers State employees and eligible retirees the opportunity to conveniently, securely, and confidently contribute to charities they care about. This year’s MCC will take place October 5 – December 11, 2026. HealthWell is proud to join the over 900 charities participating in the 2026 Campaign.
Your donation of just $6.48 per pay period (approximately $169 per year) can cover the cost of a Maryland patient’s lifesaving prescription medications for one month. Every penny adds up, and through the MCC, individual acts of giving become a tremendous generosity movement.
