A Bit of Background
Since our founding in 2011, we have been determined to make an impact in the community. The core of our efforts is to provide financial assistance to health uninsured population, making easy access to quality care including preventive services and educating them the way for a wellness life. We hope to contribute for lower the percentage of uninsured individuals educating them to better choose an affordable healthcare insurance plan.
ACTIVITIES
Making A Difference
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those with chronic illness to recover their health and to reintegrate themselves to the work force contributing to local and national development.
Our organization uses strategies for dealing wellness challenges. Educating the community to achieve a healthy life is something that we take very seriously, and our team is often working to make a positive impact. The Workshops' topics are medical, healthcare and wellness. We also offer subjects related to the community interest as Public Law and General Information.

COMMUNITY HEALTH PROVIDER FOR THE UNINSURED
WE WORK TOGETHER
COMMUNITY REALITY
THE FOLLOWING REAL NUMBERS ARE ONE OF THE REASONS WE DO WHAT WE DO FOR THE COMMUNITY
-
1 in 4 individuals are uninsured in the City of Orlando. (US Census Bureau – American Community Survey)
-
Total individuals in the City of Orlando (Orange County): estimated 1,382.152 (2019)
-
This survey also revealed that 13.4% or 185,208 people are without health insurance.
In many countries health care is a right, while in the US health care is for those that can afford it. Nationally, over 20% of individuals do not have adequate health insurance. About 13% of the nation’s population do not have any health coverage. PWMDF provides the required health support for a significant noninsured Orlando residents requiring life-saving treatments.
HOW WE IMPACT THE COMMUNITY
Providing financial aid to this specific population which allows them to receive the preventive and medical care they immediately need. This contribute to reduce:
* Higher rates of mortality and premature death
* Higher rates of cancer death related to a late-stage cancer diagnosis
* Expensive medical bills due to undiagnosed or untreated chronic conditions generating ER visits, raising npaid hospital bills.

TESTIMONIALS
HELAINE S.
My name is Helaine. I am 32. After a motorcycle accident, on my early twenties, I became handicap. In 2019 I was promoting a campaign to raise money to buy a new wheelchair. My cousin who lives in Orlando, FL, heard about the PWMD Foundation and told them my story. The foundation contacted me. I went throughout an application process and I got qualified and approved for a financial aid. With their help I was able to buy this customized wheelchair.
I recommend, with no doubt, the services and support of this organization. 2019
