About Us
Who We Are
Accessia Health is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people with chronic and rare health conditions access the care they need. We believe health should not depend on income, location, or circumstance. Our work is rooted in compassion, equity, and the understanding that stability is essential to healing.
What We Do
We remove financial and practical barriers that stand between patients and treatment. Through direct assistance, education, and advocacy, we help individuals and families navigate complex health care challenges so they can focus on their health instead of the cost of staying well.
Why Support Our Work
When you support the Accessia Health Foundation, you help ensure that access to care becomes a reality for someone facing an already difficult diagnosis. Your generosity brings stability, dignity, and hope to people who should never have to choose between their health and their livelihood.
How To Get Involved
There are many meaningful ways to be part of this work. You can make a one-time gift, become a monthly supporter, join our legacy community, attend or sponsor fundraising events, start a peer-to-peer campaign, explore employer matching opportunities, or engage your company’s employee resource groups. However you choose to participate, you are not simply supporting a mission. You are helping build a future where access to care is within reach for all.
Access Partners: Steady Support That Keeps Care Within Reach
Give Monthly
Access Partners are a community of supporters who believe that access to care should never depend on timing, circumstance, or financial disruption.
By giving monthly, Access Partners provide consistent, dependable support that allows the Accessia Health Foundation to be there for individuals and families when they need it most during moments of uncertainty, transition, and vulnerability.
Monthly giving creates stability. It helps ensure that patients facing chronic and rare medical conditions can continue care, navigate insurance challenges, and maintain dignity when costs become overwhelming. Rather than responding only in crisis moments, Access Partners help build a reliable foundation of care and access all year long.
As an Access Partner, your generosity becomes part of a continuous safety net – quietly working in the background to protect access to care and provide stability when it matters most.
This isn’t about a single moment of generosity. It’s about being present, month after month, so others don’t have to face uncertainty alone.
Access Partners provide the steady support that makes access possible – today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple your donation. If your company participates, your generosity can go even further at no additional cost to you.
Check with your human resources team to see if your gift qualifies. Submitting a matching gift request is often simple and can significantly increase the impact of your support.

Your Support Makes A Difference
Wes Burian
“Once I was diagnosed [with Fabry disease], it became an issue for insurance and [finding coverage]. I learned about Accessia Health through a Fabry support and information group. Accessia Health has been key in helping me keep my costs down for the copays of all the bills I get. It’s really good to be able to have their help with this.”
Lori Wise
“Thank you so much to Accessia Health for all they’ve done not only for me financially, but just the compassion and help they’ve provided over the many, many years. I couldn’t be happier to express my appreciation.”
Amanda Thorsen
“Without their help, I couldn’t afford all of my treatments, insurance, and travel, making life even more stressful for a single mother of two. I’m forever grateful for the assistance I receive and could never put into words how very important and meaningful it is in our lives. I’m beyond thankful for the help I receive from Accessia Health, they absolutely make my life easier during the most difficult times.”
Natalia Bushyager
“From the moment I connected with them, Accessia Health was a steady and expert guide. Their team, with their specific expertise, provided clear guidance on complex legal issues and offered compassionate support for the difficult emotional aspects of the case. Knowing I had professional representation, specifically tailored to my situation, made all the difference and helped me manage the immense stress.
Because of the generous, non-profit support Accessia Health receives, I now have the essential benefits I need. It is impossible to overstate the relief and security this has brought to my life. I encourage donors to support Accessia Health—your contributions enable this organization to provide a truly life-changing service to people struggling with rare chronic disorders.”
Suzanne Trapani
“I purchase my own medical insurance through the marketplace, and the financial assistance has been such a blessing—it means I don’t have to choose between groceries and prescriptions. I’ve served as a Patient Advocate with Accessia Health because I wanted to give back and help to say ‘thank you’ for the assistance I received.”
Tabitha Gachiengu
“May 25th, 2024, is the day I received the letter from Accessia Health, telling me there was an open spot for financial assistance. I had almost given up when the letter came, and to imagine I won’t have to worry about missing [medication] doses again was beyond my imagination.”
Carrie Choate
“Without Accessia Health, I wouldn’t have been able to afford non-traditional healthcare expenses that my insurance didn’t cover but were necessary to manage my long-term symptoms. It’s been a huge stress relief to receive the assistance and support from Accessia Health.”
