Diseases and Medications We Support

Disease Overview

The Chronic Disease Fund supports patients with chronic disease, cancers or life-altering conditions and provides financial assistance for FDA-approved specialty therapeutics used to treat those diseases. We maintain separate Disease Trusts with segregated funds, and the Fund exclusively defines the disease states and the specialty therapeutics covered using our proprietary guidelines.
