We want to call attention to the way patients and their caregivers can access information for free. With our Patient Access Program, they can receive medical or healthcare related research papers by emailing patientaccess@elsevier.com. This email is constantly monitored by our support teams, who aim to provide individual articles at no cost to patients and caregivers within 24 hours.

Our aim is to ensure that our programs make available as much research as possible that is helpful and relevant to the people who need it most...."
