A Plan striving for people 1st. Founded in 1994 by a group of local physicians, organized medical groups, and hospitals with the heart of the community in mind. This dynamic team came together to create a pro-patient healthcare delivery system that has grown over 500,000 members today! The same healthcare professionals who started the company continue to lead Care1st as a expanding consumer based organization which strives to deliver the right care, more choices, competitive health benefits and physician focused service.
