Building Affordable Local Health Plans with HealthyPath in Rural Ohio
In this episode of Relocalizing Health, Michael Norman of Genesis Healthcare System and President of HealthyPath shares how a challenge from a major insurer led to the creation of a community-driven health plan in Zanesville, Ohio. Designed to give employers affordable options and employees better access to care, HealthyPath is proving that local solutions can make a real impact.
In just one year, participating employers saved over $1.2 million. The conversation also explores the value of independent community hospitals, the risks of consolidation, and how local partnerships are helping reshape healthcare around people—not profit.
