HealthKnowledge is an independent service that provides concise, understandable information so people can better navigate and use the confusing healthcare system. We help people better understand their health insurance. We help consumers save money. We help patients stay safe.

HealthKnowledge doesn’t dispense medical advice. Plenty of others do that. We provide the practical information that for too long has been hard to come by for healthcare consumers.

HealthKnowledge president and founder Christopher J. Gearon has made a career of 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. Gearon oversees a team of healthcare and benefits journalists, editors and experts who specialize in helping people make sense of a complex healthcare system.

The HealthKnowledge team of experts has written or worked for well-known and respected organizations, including 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.
