Who we are


No Patient Left Behind is a non-profit dedicated to making drugs affordable for every American. The organization is both designing and advocating for healthcare reforms that would lower or end copays and other out-of-pocket costs today while encouraging the innovation that gives all of us hope for tomorrow.

Our team

No Patient Left Behind was founded in 2020 by a group of patients, patient advocates, physicians, scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and biotech investors.
