HealthWell Foundation to Showcase Support for Oncology Patients at ASCO 2025

HealthWell Foundation to Exhibit at ASCO 2025

The HealthWell Foundation®, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to assisting underinsured Americans, is thrilled to announce its participation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Set to take place in Chicago, Illinois, from May 30 to June 3, 2025, the Foundation will be showcasing its significant portfolio of oncology funds aimed at easing the financial burdens faced by patients with life-threatening conditions.

The exhibition will occur from May 31 to June 2, 2025, at booth #32146, where visitors can engage with HealthWell team members and learn more about the crucial support available for patients struggling with the costs of medication and treatment. Since its establishment in 2003, the HealthWell Foundation has provided over 1.1 million patients with financial assistance, helping cover their copayments, insurance premiums, deductibles, and other related expenses. Notably, the Foundation has supported over 399,000 oncology patients with $2.4 million in financial aid, translating into more than 595,000 grants issued to date.

Importance of the Foundation's Work

Michael S. Heimall, the President and CEO of the HealthWell Foundation, emphasized the importance of their work: "Our commitment to aiding the oncology community remains unwavering. A cancer diagnosis is not just about the physical fight; it often leads to a financial struggle that can prevent patients from accessing life-saving treatments. Our mission is to alleviate that financial stress, enabling patients to focus on their health and recovery."

The Foundation’s efforts are critical as many patients encounter severe financial obstacles when seeking treatment. These challenges can deter them from adhering to their prescribed therapies, ultimately impacting their health outcomes. By providing financial assistance, HealthWell aims to ease the anxieties associated with treatment costs, allowing patients and their caregivers to concentrate on what truly matters—the patient’s health.

As part of its mission, the HealthWell Foundation has become a recognized entity in the healthcare landscape, serving as a safety net across more than 90 disease areas. The organization has played a prominent role in supporting the White House Cancer Moonshot Initiative, further solidifying its dedication to enhancing patient care and wellbeing.

In addition to its impressive achievements, HealthWell Foundation was named 24th on Forbes' 2024 list of America’s Top 100 Charities, reflecting its commitment to operational transparency and fundraising efficiency.
