The NPH Foundation
Who We Are
Healthcare is often fragmented and difficult to navigate, especially for those facing poverty, disability, discrimination, or geographic isolation.Every day, people living with chronic illness face overwhelming challenges after diagnosis: confusing healthcare systems, delayed referrals, missed appointments, financial hardship, lack of transportation, and no clear next step. For many patients, especially those in Indigenous, rural, and underserved communities, these barriers are even greater.
That’s where we come in. We believe every patient, caregiver, and loved one deserve to have support when they need it. Affordability should not be a barrier. Every dollar raised goes towards ensuring that care navigation and support is accessible to every patient and their loved ones.
The NPH Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health equity and patient outcomes through patient navigation.
What is Patient Navigation
Patient navigation is a proven, compassionate approach that helps individuals:
- Understand their diagnosis and care plan
- Access timely appointments and referrals
- Address financial, logistical, and cultural barriers
- Connect with community resources and supportive services
- Stay engaged in care and avoid preventable crises
Navigation is not medical treatment—it is support, coordination, and guidance that helps patients successfully move through complex healthcare systems and physical and emotional barriers.
Through patient navigation, the NPH Foundation helps:
- Reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment
- Improve adherence to care plans
- Increase screening and follow-up completion
- Reduce avoidable emergency department visits
- Strengthen patient confidence and quality of life
- Advance equitable healthcare access for all communities
