ASH completed the relocation to Fort Worth in October 2019, leasing 164,000 square feet in the Heritage Commons building near Interstate 35W. Nearly 400 employees currently work in the new location, providing customer service, health management coaching, claims, clinical quality services and more to support ASH’s nationwide health services operations.
“Our dedicated employees are a critical key to our company’s growth, so it’s vital that we offer them an environment that nurtures their well-being and their success,” added Bragg.
ASH was founded in 1987 with just $4000 in seed money and has grown into a half- billion-dollar company serving more than 50 million members nationwide. ASH has more than 1,400 employees in offices across the country and was recently named a 10-time winner on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
