We’re on a mission
At Nonstop, we believe healthcare is more than a transaction that happens during illness or injury. It’s vital to the success of organizations and in building a thriving community.
We are all about community
In 2012, we founded our company on the belief that communities are most effective when high-quality healthcare is accessible – before and whenever help is needed. Initially, our flagship program, Nonstop Wellness (now Nonstop Health ™), was only available to nonprofit organizations. Our belief was that this would make healthcare more equitable for nonprofits so that they could thrive and their employees could continue to make communities happier and healthier places — and be more competitive employers.
Get to know us
The healthcare industry can feel like a machine, but you’ll only find real human beings here. We’re fueled by compassion and united in the goal of bringing affordable, high-quality care to more people. This is what drives us to keep innovating to provide better service to more people. And we won’t stop.
