The National Patient Advocate Foundation is a nonprofit organization that operates at the national level to influence health policy and drive system changes in healthcare. As the advocacy arm aligned with the Patient Advocate Foundation, it centers patients and caregivers in decision making, seeks to listen to communities that are often overlooked, and trains advocates to effect change in their own communities. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, the foundation is a small- to mid-sized nonprofit. Its work targets patients and caregivers who face barriers to care, and it seeks to ensure healthcare serves the whole person through partnerships and policy work. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and positions itself as a national advocate for patient-centered healthcare policy. In November 2023, it formed a partnership with Helping Hands Of The Cape Fear LLC, a development that broadens community relationships and resources, including involvement in court advocacy for the 13th Judicial District of North Carolina.
