Where It All Began
HealthPath was founded by Vanessa Gonzalez, who started her career at a corporate insurance startup, supporting both members and providers.
A Problem Worth Solving

Along the way, she became a subject matter expert in health insurance operations, including RFPs, underwriting, networks, benefits, utilization management, claims, TPAs, and care management. Her expertise continues to drive HealthPath’s mission to make healthcare easier to access and understand.
HealthPath Comes to Life
