Arizona’s healthcare sector has grown faster than the national average in the past year, and HealthPlanOne’s recent announcement to add hundreds of new jobs with its new Gilbert facility continues this trend in the Valley. One in every five jobs added in the state over the past year was in healthcare. The HPOne Gilbert facility is the second location for the healthcare technology company and follows their 2014 entrance into the state. “We’ve been very happy with our ability to attract and retain qualified employees in this market, so when it came time to choose a location for additional expansion, it was an easy decision to stay in the Valley,” said Bill Stapleton, founder and CEO of HPOne.
Arizona Commerce Authority President and CEO Sandra Watson isn’t surprised by the decision to add more healthcare jobs in the Arizona labor market. “This expansion is an excellent example of how Arizona’s pro-business environment and educated, skilled workforce foster corporate growth and success,” said Watson of the HPOne’s plan to add more than 160 employees to the offices located at 275 E. Germann Rd, Gilbert, AZ, by the end of 2015. The new location will serve HPOne’s member acquisition, brokerage and employer lines of business, providing marketing and sales solutions for national and regional carriers offering both Medicare and Individual and Family healthcare plans.
To celebrate the expansion, HPOne is hosting an Open House and Information Session for interested job candidates at the new location on Wednesday, August 19, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Hiring managers and recruiters will be available to discuss employment opportunities and attendees can take a tour of the new facility, meet HPOne staff, and submit a resume for future consideration. The event is free to attend and light refreshments will be served.
“Gilbert has more than two million square feet of state-of-the art hospital and clinical research facilities. As a leading location for healthcare in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Gilbert embraces companies like HPOne that support the community’s health services sector by providing innovative technology solutions for clients in the Medicare and health insurance marketplaces. We are glad HPOne chose Gilbert for their expansion and look forward to a continued partnership with this great company,” said Gilbert, Arizona Mayor John W. Lewis.
