A Williston company is helping to revolutionize the healthcare insurance system in this country. Enabler Corp., established by former Fanny Allen Hospital president Gary Morel in 1995, is finding new ways to navigate the minefield of insurance options in partnership with healthcare providers and businesses. We help healthcare providers evolve their own managed care plans, and we help businesses save money and improve employee health through choosing, or setting up, the right benefit program. Gary Morel, former president of Fanny Allen Hospital, helps healthcare providers and businesses choose from several hundred health insurance options.
Different strategies are appropriate for different employers.
In Vermont, small businesses are faced with a choice of up to 700 different insurance options from about 12 different companies and 50 trade associations that can offer plans to members. Then, at the age of 30, I came to Vermont as president of Fanny Allen Hospital in Colchester, which was at that time an independent, Catholic, community teaching hospital. I was the first lay administrator of Fanny Allen, and I was brought in when the hospital was dying financially and was merging with the larger Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington. I was the turnaround executive. I introduced the two boards and got them talking.
