Company Description:

Iron Road Healthcare’s growth has led to a need for a new company name and logo that honors the long history and contribution railroaders have made and continue to make. Iron Road Healthcare is passionate about serving the needs of its members as a not-for-profit trust fund and recognizes their duty to ensure members are protected. In 1870, Union Pacific and other railroad companies recognized the need to treat sick and injured employees. Hospital associations were created and flourished as the ‘iron road’ crisscrossed the United States and were the forerunners of today’s health insurance plans. In 1947, the hospital associations separated from railroads and became independent entities dedicated to serving railroad employees. The last 149 years have brought significant advancements in medicine and healthcare, setting the stage for today’s modern health plan. Iron Road Health Care is one of five remaining hospital associations that continues to provide health insurance coverage for the railroad workers the country depends on.
