About Good Days

Good Days is a national non-profit charitable organization that lifts the burdens of chronic illness through assistance, advocacy, and awareness. We aim to achieve this mission through the three branches of the organization:

• Good Days provides patient assistance and financial resources for lifesaving and life-extending treatments to people in need.
• Chronic Disease Day is an awareness campaign led by the national non-profit Good Days, that uses peoples’ stories and voices to advocate to lower the number of preventable illnesses, advance access to care for unpreventable conditions, and build healthier communities.
• Empowered Us is a storytelling and resource hub led by the national non-profit Good Days that explores the challenges and opportunities of the healthcare journey and shares solutions for our community of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Some high-level metrics of our organization:

• Established in 2003
• Has provided over $2.8 Billion dollars in financial assistance to greater than 800,000 people in the United States affected by chronic and rare disease.
• Helped almost 290,000 Americans last year  (newly diagnosed and existing people impacted by chronic and rare diseases) across the country.
• Based in Frisco, TX; 59 employees.
