Our History
Since 1999, HealthPath has awarded grants to address health issues faced by Ohio’s communities. Our Foundation was formed through a voluntary agreement between the State of Ohio, Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc. (Anthem), and Anthem's subsidiary, Community Insurance Company (CIC). A 1995 merger brought the nonprofit CIC under the control of Anthem, a for-profit corporation. The voluntary agreement provided for the preservation of CIC's historically "charitable and benevolent" assets.
​
HealthPath's 36-county service area represents the former service area of CIC's nonprofit predecessor, a hospital service association known as the Hospital Care Corporation. HealthPath is not affiliated with Anthem Insurance Company.
Our Organizational Structure:
HealthPath Foundation of Ohio was established as a supporting organization of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. A supporting organization is defined as an entity that would otherwise be a private foundation except for its relationship with a public charity, e.g., The Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
​
In most cases, a supporting organization gives an organization many of the advantages of private foundation status, while avoiding some of the economic and administrative disadvantages.
​
HealthPath is governed by our own nine-member Board of Directors, as appointed by The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, with programs being carried out by our staff.
