HealthKnowledge president and founder Christopher J. Gearon has made a career as a journalist and communicator making sense of the healthcare system and health benefits for millions of AARP members and readers of The Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report and other publications.

Heading up HealthKnowledge, Gearon oversees a team of healthcare and benefits journalists, editors, communications and other experts who specialize in helping people make sense of a complex healthcare system.

We operate like a respected news organization. Our writers and editors are subject experts who regularly talk with other experts and consumers dealing with the healthcare system. Our goal is to empower consumers with information they can use to improve their health and save money. This is a win-win for everyone.

While we may operate like a news organization, we are an information service first and foremost dedicated to helping make complex healthcare and health insurance topics understandable for the average person. Our focus is on empowering consumers so they feel knowledgeable and comfortable about taking the steps to improve their health and financial security.

The HealthKnowledge team of experts has written or worked for well-known and respected organizations, including AARP, Kiplinger, the Bureau of National Affairs, the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the American Hospital Association, Georgetown University, Crain Communications, the National Quality Forum and others.

HealthKnowledge does not depend on advertising and has no vested interest in any product, health plan, drug company or other healthcare industry player.
