"I was feeling overwhelmed, depressed, worried about bills, food, etc. After speaking with my case manager, she helped me to understand that there is help out there for me and that I can get through this. My mind was put at ease by her gentle and understanding voice."

"My dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest and open heart surgery was recommended due to my dad’s age. A non-invasive way to mitigate my dad’s condition and reduce the enlargement of his heart to help improve his quality of life was presented. This option was not approved by my family’s insurance provider. This organization understands compassionate advocacy in a way that hospitals and insurance companies sadly do not. What a weight lifted to know my father can have this surgery and get to spend more good years with his wife, kids, and grandkids."

"I must say that I’ve never spoken with anyone who seemed to understand what being a caregiver actually entails. After speaking with you via telephone you so effortlessly supported me with patience, care and professionalism. During our conversation you somehow eased my pain, stress and anxiousness."

"As a person with two chronic illnesses, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, life gives you challenges. PAF reviewed my meditations and what co-pay assistance is available to defray my cost. They show local, state, and county benefits, such as fuel assistance, utilities shut-off protection, transitional assistance with food, medical bills, etc. PAF is a direct patient advocate from eligibility, enrollment and to approval. This is a wonderful organization. They decipher to mountains of directions and get patient to the help available. My sincere thanks."

"PAF were literally lifesaving, and they did it with courtesy and compassion. They are really are on your side."
