Health and Disease Nonprofits, exemplified by organizations like the American Heart Association and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, operate with a shared, comprehensive mission to combat specific, life-threatening diseases globally. These foundations dedicate their resources to three primary areas: funding cutting-edge medical research to develop new treatments and ultimately find cures; providing critical support and information to patients, survivors, and their families to improve their quality of life and navigate treatment; and advocating for public policy changes and promoting community education to foster prevention, raise awareness, and ensure equitable access to care. Through this multi-faceted approach, they work relentlessly to reduce deaths, eliminate disability, and build a world of longer, healthier lives free from the burden of major illnesses.
