The Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland
The HealthWell Foundation® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2003 that is committed to addressing the needs of individuals with insurance who cannot afford their copayments, coinsurance, and premiums for important medical treatments. Healthwell's vision is to ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.
As patients are required to pay a larger share of health care costs each year, even many individuals with insurance find health care unaffordable. These patients face challenges affording the treatments they need to fight chronic and life threatening medical conditions. The HealthWell Foundation was established to address and alleviate this problem.
HealthWell's mission is to reduce barriers to care for underinsured patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases.
