As millions of Americans evaluate their healthcare options during open enrollment, Impact Health Sharing is celebrating a record year of growth and three significant milestones: more than 25,000 members, over $350 million in collective member savings and shared eligible medical expenses, and no across-the-board monthly share increases planned for 2027, extending its record of rate stability into a seventh year.
Founded in 2020, the nonprofit healthcare-sharing community has experienced year-over-year membership growth, with record new-member enrollments every month in 2026 to date. The momentum reflects increasing interest in healthcare sharing as more individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and small business owners explore alternatives to traditional health insurance.
“We’re seeing more people ask an important question: Is there another way to manage my healthcare costs?” said Phil Chrysler, President and CEO of Impact Health Sharing. “For too many hardworking Americans, unfortunately the choice has become paying more than their family budget can handle or going without. Reaching 25,000 members means more people are discovering an affordable option they may not have known existed. And that’s what makes this milestone so meaningful to us. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the numbers or profits. It’s about helping people.”
Impact members report saving up to 50% on average compared to their prior health insurance option. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare sharing ministry, Impact brings members together to share eligible medical expenses through modern technology, a commitment to transparency, and without traditional provider network restrictions.
For families like the Kings, owners of Camp Iron Bluffs in Arkansas, the experience has been personal. As a self-employed family of seven, the Kings report saving more than $1,400 per month compared to their previous health insurance option, while using Impact for healthcare needs ranging from urgent care visits and broken bones to a hip replacement. The family is available for media interviews to share its experience.
“As a nonprofit, our focus is happy, satisfied members who feel confident in their decision to join our community,” Chrysler added. “Impact isn’t insurance, and it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Healthcare is one of the biggest financial decisions Americans make, and we believe everyone deserves to understand their options, know what to expect, and feel confident they’re making the right choice for their family and their budget.”
Rooted in Christian values and the principle of love thy neighbor, Impact remains committed to the purpose behind its founding: helping people spend less on healthcare, live well, and support one another along the way.
