About Us

Authenticity. Connection. Action.

Our mission is to make the healthcare system work for all of us. As the advocate affiliate of Patient Advocate Foundation, we work at the national level to engage real people and drive system-change in healthcare.

What We Do:

  • Listen to communities who are not often heard.
  • Position patients and caregivers in the places that matter.
  • Train advocates to make change happen where they live.
  • Advocate for solutions that support the whole person.
  • Partner with people like you to drive system-change in healthcare.

"NPAF is here to ensure that the patient perspective is heard and that it matters.” — Alan Balch, PhD, Chief Executive Officer
