What is Health Gorilla
Health Gorilla, a leading Health Information Network and interoperability provider has announced the launch of the HG Accelerator Program, enabling early-stage healthcare startups to access Health Gorilla’s portfolio of healthcare data APIs, software, and services free of charge, subject to certain use cases and guidelines.
Health Gorilla is now accepting HG Accelerator applications at this link. Ideal applicants will be based in the U.S., have raised less than $3 million in the financing, and must involve or serve as a business associate of a healthcare provider.
During the three-month program, startups accepted into the program receive full and free access to Health Gorilla’s portfolio of products, including access to comprehensive clinical data, diagnostic data, pharmacy data, and social determinants of health (SDOH) data through Health Gorilla’s national network of data sources. Participating startups will work closely with Health Gorilla’s solution architects, implementation staff, and interoperability experts to connect to the national data framework, embed our APIs or software platform, and successfully retrieve data to support their use case.
Startups will receive dedicated mentorship from the nation’s leading experts on interoperability, including former leaders from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Sutter Health, Epic, Carequality, and CommonWell Health Alliance. Upon successful completion of the program, startups will participate in a Demo Day presentation with a panel of healthcare investors evaluating pitches for potential funding.
“Much of the innovation in our healthcare system starts at small organizations, where providers can develop new care models using data and technology,” said Steve Yaskin, CEO and Co-founder of Health Gorilla. “For the first time ever, we’re opening up our entire product suite for health tech founders in the early innings of development. We’re excited to provide support and see what they build.”

“The cost of retrieving comprehensive health data has dropped with the rise of nationwide exchange, but there are still a large number of providers that can’t afford it,” said Steven Lane MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer at Health Gorilla. “The HG Accelerator program ensures that hefty fees do not prevent an early-stage provider organization or their partners from accessing the data they need to deliver patient care. I’m looking forward to mentoring these entrepreneurs and lending my expertise to their health data initiatives.”
