      <Desc>At the PAN Foundation, we envision a nation in which everyone can get the health care they need. We work toward this goal by helping underinsured people with life-threatening, chronic and rare diseases get access to necessary medications and treatment. Partnering with generous donors, healthcare providers and pharmacies, PAN covers out-of-pocket costs for underinsured patients, providing access to the therapies they need to best manage their conditions and improve their quality of life. In 2016, the PAN Foundation assisted a total of 263,238 patients. Of that total, 191,835 were patients seeking and receiving assistance from the PAN Foundation for the first time. In the same year, PAN paid more than 1,500,000 claims related to patients' out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses and received over 600,000 phone calls. PAN's reach includes partnerships with over 1,673 specialty pharmacies and more than 132,050 providers across the USA.</Desc>
