Ownership, Funding, and Independence/h1>

Last Update: August 3, 2026

Independent Ownership

Patient Advocacy Strategies, LLC (PAS) is an independently owned consulting and professional services organization focused on patient advocacy, patient engagement, clinical trial recruitment, clinical operations excellence, and healthcare strategy.

PAS is privately owned and operated and maintains full independence in its business decisions, strategic direction, client relationships, and service delivery.

This independence allows PAS to provide objective guidance and recommendations based on the needs of our clients, the perspectives of patient communities, and the goals of each engagement.

Funding

PAS operates as a client-funded organization.

Our revenue is generated through professional consulting services, strategic advisory engagements, patient engagement initiatives, advocacy partnership development, educational programs, communications support, recruitment strategy, operational consulting, and related professional services.

PAS does not rely on external investors, venture capital funding, private equity financing, or outside organizations to direct our business decisions.

This structure allows us to remain focused on delivering value to our clients while maintaining independence and flexibility in how we serve the communities and organizations we support.

Grants and Government Funding

PAS does not receive grant funding. The company does not currently operate through foundation grants, government grants, charitable funding programs, or similar external funding mechanisms.

Our work is supported through client engagements and fee-for-service professional services.

Because PAS is not grant-funded, our strategic priorities, educational initiatives, and service offerings are developed independently and are not influenced by the requirements or objectives of grant-making organizations.

Commitment to Objectivity

We believe transparency regarding ownership and funding is an important part of building trust.

PAS is committed to providing objective guidance and practical recommendations grounded in experience, stakeholder insights, and real-world operational considerations.

Our recommendations are based on what we believe will best support patients, advocacy organizations, healthcare stakeholders, and our clients’ goals rather than the interests of external funders or sponsoring organizations.

Our Commitment to Transparency

PAS believes that trust is earned through openness, accountability, and consistency.

We are committed to being transparent about:

  • Our ownership structure
  • Our business model
  • Our sources of revenue
  • Potential conflicts of interest
  • The role we play in client engagements
  • The principles that guide our recommendations and decision-making

 

We believe that transparency strengthens relationships, fosters trust, and supports meaningful collaboration with the organizations and communities we serve.

Questions About Ownership or Funding?

If you have questions regarding PAS’s ownership structure, funding model, independence, or business practices, we welcome the opportunity to provide additional information and clarification. Our commitment to transparency extends to every relationship we build and every engagement we undertake.
