1. What is PSN, and how can it help me as a patient?
PSN, or Patient Support Network, is a platform designed to connect patients, hospitals, and sponsors to provide faster access to advanced medical treatments. If you’re a patient with specific medical needs, PSN can help you by:
Highlighting hospital fundraisers for advanced treatments.
Connecting your hospital to sponsors who can help fund your care.
Amplifying the visibility of your fundraising campaign through corporate sponsorships.
2. Can I create my own fundraiser on PSN?
Currently, PSN doesn’t allow individual patients to create fundraisers directly on the platform. However, you can collaborate with your hospital to ensure your treatment needs are included in their fundraising campaigns. Talk to your hospital about their participation in PSN and ask them to list fundraisers that include your case.
3. How do corporate sponsorships benefit patients like me?
Corporate sponsorships amplify the visibility and funding for hospital campaigns. Sponsors contribute to hospital projects and fundraisers through PSN, which helps hospitals gather the necessary resources to provide advanced treatments. This means faster funding for time-sensitive medical needs, directly benefiting patients like you.
4. How can I make sure my case gets the support it needs?
Work closely with your hospital to ensure they are active participants on PSN. Hospitals can list fundraisers and use the platform to attract sponsors. If your case is part of a listed fundraiser, it has a higher chance of receiving visibility and funding from sponsors.
5. Is there a cost for patients to benefit from PSN?
No, there is no cost for patients to benefit from PSN. The platform’s funding model is supported by sponsors and hospitals. Patients benefit indirectly when hospitals successfully raise funds through PSN.
