Meet Bethany Sullivan
Owner of Sullivan Health Care Solutions
Bethany’s benefits journey began in the 1990's while working in the corporate employee benefits field. There she realized the challenges and anxiety employees faced as they retired from their employer-sponsored plans and were left navigating the complex Medicare health care system alone.

That’s when she began to explore possibilities...
Bethany discovered a small niche for retiree health insurance and specifically a strong desire to offer knowledgeable, customer-oriented, honest, and sincere insight into a complicated system. Her corporate background prepared her in several ways: she has a service mindset, she makes technical terms easy to understand, and she leads with unparalleled service.
