About Patients First Foundation
The Patients First Foundation is a patient-led initiative dedicated to reforming healthcare by giving patients a voice and empowering them to take control of their healthcare journey; we focus on improving patient literacy, advocacy, and empowerment. 

Why Patients First?
We believe the healthcare system is operating exactly as it was designed—but not for the benefit of patients. Patients and taxpayers are paying twice for a system that doesn't prioritize their needs. We are here to change that. The question is: How can we build a system that works for everyone, improving health and reducing costs for all?

Our Vision: Healthcare 3.0
We are launching Healthcare 3.0, a new model that puts control back in the hands of patients. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we will empower individuals to manage their healthcare records, make informed decisions, and form partnerships with local healthcare providers and employers. 

Real Stories, Real Change
Our founder, Steve Carbonara, almost lost his life due to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. His story is one of many that highlight the failures of the current system. We are calling on 1 million patients to share their stories so we can tackle these issues together.
