Funding

The Foundation does not accept funding from any source with a financial interest in any particular approach to medical testing or treatment. In addition, foundation employees and clinical content experts do not accept support from companies that commercially market any kind of treatment or device that might be relevant to a program.

Much of the Foundation’s funding is derived from a unique partnership with Health Dialog. Since 1997, Health Dialog has delivered patient support services to companies and health plans committed to helping their members or employees better understand their medical issues and become more engaged in managing their healthcare. Health Dialog supports millions of individuals across a broad spectrum of healthcare needs, whether it’s managing a chronic condition, selecting a treatment option for a big medical decision, or needing guidance on whether to bring a sick child to the emergency room.
