HealthJoy Recognized in 2023 Fierce 15

Written by Kevin Hyland | January 20, 2023

Over the years, HealthJoy has been recognized by a number of outlets for simplifying the healthcare experience. This includes awards from Forbes (America's Best Startup Employers), Built In (Best Places to Work in Chicago), EBN (Digital Innovators), and more.

We’re humbled by each of these honors, and see them as a recognition that we’re always striving to make HealthJoy an award-winning level platform for employees and employers alike.  

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that HealthJoy was selected as a part of this year’s Fierce 15 by Fierce Healthcare

What is Fierce 15?

Each year, Fierce Healthcare announces their Fierce 15 - a selection of companies across the US that are transforming the healthcare industry.

According to Fierce, the theme among this year’s honorees can be summed up in one word: disruption. “Each of these companies—large and small—demonstrates an embrace of the patient and the provider who both want a better experience in healthcare.”

Why Fierce Healthcare selected HealthJoy 

Disruption is a key part of the HealthJoy story. HealthJoy began in 2014 with a routine MRI. Our co-founder wanted to find an affordable service that worked with his high-deductible insurance plan. He couldn’t believe how difficult that became. And though HealthJoy has changed over the years, the mission to disrupt the norm and simplify healthcare has not. 

"We're honored to be named one of Fierce Healthcare's Fierce 15 companies in 2023. Our team works tirelessly to bring together everything employees need to navigate their care journey, while ensuring HR leaders have the resources they need to reduce administrative burden," said Justin Holland, CEO and co-founder, HealthJoy. "Following our recent fundraise, innovation is top of mind as we enter this next chapter for HealthJoy. Driving a more personalized, proactive and seamless healthcare experience for members is our top priority, and we look forward to expanding those efforts in 2023." 

The combination of simplifying access to care and creating a personalized member experience has been vital for HealthJoy’s success and providing positive outcomes for members. “Where we've been very successful is the intentionality around creating a really great healthcare experience,” Holland said.

Until next time

Thanks again to Fierce Healthcare for selecting HealthJoy as part of this year’s Fierce 15. It’s an honor to be recognized among companies that are making a difference in the world and disrupting the healthcare industry. 

A simpler healthcare experience can save lives, save money, and give people peace of mind. So, until next time, we’ll stay focused on simplifying the healthcare experience and providing a little JOY along the way.
