Awards & Accomplishments
PAF is honored to have received many distinguished recognitions and awards throughout our years of service. Our most recent national recognitions include a Charity Navigator Four-Star rating, Candid’s Platinum Transparency 2024 award, and Great Nonprofits’ 2024 Top-Rated Non-Profit designation.
While the evaluation criteria used by each vary, these distinctions signify that the level and consistency of the financial stewardship applied to donations and the progress PAF is making toward its mission is among the best in the nation’s non-profit community.
"My case manager is an amazing advocate! I retired July 1st due to a serious, chronic illness. I had not received my insurance cards for 6 weeks. My case manager carefully listened to my issue, so she could assist me in talking with the insurance company, as well as the LTD Company. She has a gift of being assertive, yet pleasant, when requesting assistance from these providers. Within one day, I received my insurance cards in the mail! She followed up with me, and she truly cared and got the results that I needed so desperately. I cannot give her enough praise for her dedication, empathy, and genuine compassion for my situation."
“I was overwhelmed – no insurance, very limited income, and a diagnosis that knocked the wind out of me. My patient advocate guided me, gave me options – even conference-called with me to help get answers and get started on a road that provided me with much needed information and assistance both emotionally and financially. I am forever grateful!!”
"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."
