EmblemHealth is a health and wellness company that provides insurance plans, primary and specialty care, and wellness solutions. As one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit health insurers, we serve more than three million people in the New York tristate area. EmblemHealth’s family of companies includes ConnectiCare, one of Connecticut’s leading health plans; AdvantageCare Physicians, a primary and specialty care practice; and WellSpark, a digital wellness company.
We started back in the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression. Out of hard times, the idea of health insurance was born: a system that would protect everyday people from financial misfortune if they had an accident or illness. Two companies from those early days of health insurance, Group Health Incorporated (GHI) and Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP), would later merge and become EmblemHealth. And after 80 years, our purpose as a not-for-profit is still the same: to provide quality, affordable health insurance for New Yorkers and their families.
As health care has evolved, so have we. In addition to being a leading health plan, we also have other companies that are part of the EmblemHealth family, including AdvantageCare Physicians, a primary and specialty care provider serving many of our members across its more than 35 locations.
We think of ourselves as an 80-year-old start-up: big enough to offer the stability and benefits of a major corporation, with a ferocious commitment to innovation, collaboration and flexibility. We believe in what we’re doing. And we’re looking for passionate people to join us, even if you don’t have health care experience.
