We are closing out 2025 with a clear reminder of why our work matters. Nearly 5,000 people received help with critical healthcare costs this year and each story brings us back to the reason our mission exists. Your support over more than three decades has made that possible. I invite you to hear about Cheryl's journey and how your contribution to our Give Back, Give Hope campaign can give hope for someone's future tomorrow.

 

This year brought meaningful moments that strengthened how we show up for the people who rely on us. We shared our work at major healthcare conferences across the country and created new opportunities for patients, caregivers, professionals, and advocates to access practical information and support. These connections shaped real progress and reminded us why this community matters.


As we reach the end of the year, I want to thank you for being part of our community. This season often brings a mix of feelings. Some look forward to moments of celebration while others face challenges that make the holidays feel complicated. However you arrive in this moment, we see you and we value you.


Our hope is that the weeks ahead give you space to breathe, connect in the ways that feel right for you, and find small pockets of comfort or inspiration. Your stories, your resilience, and your support continue to shape our mission and the impact we make together.

Make A Difference In 3 Minutes

Accessia Health exists to help people secure the medical care they need without sacrificing their stability, as our team works around the clock to assist upwards of 5,000 people a year.

A gift to Accessia Health provides essential financial assistance and a lifeline of security for someone who simply cannot afford the resources they rely on.

 

This season, you can make a real and immediate impact. Help us ensure that no one has to hold the burden of having a rare or chronic disease alone. Give Back & Give Hope to Accessia Health by December 31st and strengthen the support system patients count on every day.


Real Patients, Real Stories

Life with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) was once like living a nightmare for Cheryl Cooney. Faced with incredibly painful attacks of swelling across her body, she was desperate for answers and a treatment. After receiving the diagnosis of HAE, Cheryl then had to come to terms with just how expensive her life-saving medication would run. But after finding Accessia Health, she was able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that we were here to help cover the burden of her critical care.
