Mission
AT THE MAX FOUNDATION WE BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE LIVING WITH CANCER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS HIGH IMPACT MEDICINES, THAT GEOGRAPHY SHOULD NOT DICTATE ONE'S DESTINY, AND THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STRIVE FOR HEALTH WITH DIGNITY AND HOPE. WE ARE ON A MISSION TO ACCELERATE HEALTH EQUITY BY DELIVERING MEDICATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND SERVICES TO PATIENTS FACING CANCER AND OTHER CRITICAL ILLNESSES, FOCUSING OUR ENERGY ON THOSE NO ONE ELSE IS HELPING.
Program accomplishments
- A KEY FOCUS OF THE MAX FOUNDATION IS EXPANDING HUMANITARIAN ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS FOR CANCER AND OTHER CRITICAL ILLNESSES IN LOW-AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. DONATIONS OF HIGH IMPACT PRODUCTS FROM DRUG MANUFACTURERS ARE RECEIVED BY OUR SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, MAXAID, AND CHANNELED TO INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS VIA OUR NETWORK OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS. THIS ACCESS TO MEDICINES IS ENABLED THROUGH OUR PATIENT-CENTERED TREATMENT ACCESS MODEL KNOWN AS MAX ACCESS SOLUTIONS. OUR PRIMARY CLIENT IS A PATIENT WHO IS TREATED BY ONE OF OUR PARTNER PHYSICIANS, DIAGNOSED WITH A SPECIFIC CANCER OR CRITICAL ILLNESS, AND PRESCRIBED A MEDICATION FOR WHICH THE ONLY AVAILABLE FORM OF ACCESS IS A HUMANITARIAN CHANNEL THROUGH MAX ACCESS SOLUTIONS. WE USE A SOPHISTICATED WEB-ENGINE PLATFORM DEVELOPED IN-HOUSE TO ALLOW US TO WORK IN REAL TIME WITH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND CREATE INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAM LIFE CYCLES TO MEET EACH PATIENT'S NEEDS. WE FURTHER ACT AS HEALTHCARE NAVIGATORS FOR THESE PATIENTS, HELPING THEM WALK THROUGH THE ACCESS PROGRAM ENVIRONMENT. IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE TREATMENT, WITHIN OUR CAPABILITIES WE PROVIDE CRUCIAL SUPPORT THAT INCLUDES ACCESS TO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, EMOTIONAL AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT, INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES AND EDUCATION, AS WELL AS ADVOCATING ON THEIR BEHALF WHEN NEEDED. WE STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITIES AROUND PATIENTS BY SUPPORTING PATIENT ORGANIZATIONS AND CREATING AWARENESS INITIATIVES IN LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES.Expenses $4,935,415 · grants $641,000 · revenue $7,737,579
