The Patient Advocate Foundation and PAN Foundation, two of the largest medical-assistance organizations in the United States, announced on March 3 plans for a strategic merger that will create America’s most comprehensive patient-advocate, nonprofit organization.

With a combined experience of more than 50 years, the two nonprofits have assisted patients in navigating, accessing, and affording health care and also helped improve the health care system for low- and middle-income patients and their families.
