Our mission is to provide assistance in elective surgical procedures for those lacking insurance coverage to receive the proper care they deserve. We are group of individuals looking to change lives of those who are suffering from ailments but do not have a resource for or qualify to get an elective surgical procedure performed. The Patient Benefit Foundation (PBF) is volunteers in addition to help solidify the process and make a resource accessible to many in need. Day-to-day operations include identifying patients and coordination of surgery between physicians and hospital or facilities to make it seamless for folks needing help. The volunteers and many board of directors have years of experience in patient care and understand not only from a financial perspective but also understand patient’s medical necessity. This allowed PBF to operate with minimal overhead, making funding available to more patients. Our goal is to make their lives better The Patient Benefit Foundation (PBF) was founded in 2014 because there was a clear need that had been left unaddressed by other charitable organizations. Emergent and catastrophic surgeries were being assisted by multiple charities, but no one was reaching the patient in need of elective surgeries that were necessary to prevent future complications. The Patient Benefit Foundation began taking shape in 2015 when the infrastructure necessary to move the organization forward was put into place. By 2016, board members and organizational activities had been finalized, informational materials had been developed, and the Patient Benefit Foundation began recruiting surgeons and facilities to help with the cause. A gala introducing the Patient Benefit Foundation was held to formally introduce the organization to Houston, Texas, and the surrounding communities.
