The FrontPath Health Coalition (formerly known as the Western Lake Erie Employers' Coalition (WLEC)), was established in 1988 by eight Fortune 500 employers as a way to manage health care costs and increase competition among health care providers. These employers realized by increasing competition in the health care market, Toledo could become a more attractive and affordable place to do business. Today, the WLEC has a new name to reflect changes in the diversity of our members. FrontPath Health Coalition offers its members a highly competitive reimbursement schedule which spans the full continuum of health care needs in regions where employees live and work. FrontPath continues to explore opportunities for growth in direct response to member's needs.

Today, FrontPath Health Coalition acts as a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to supporting employers, unions, municipalities and public entities throughout the Western Lake Erie region. FrontPath collaborates with health care providers to help improve the quality of healthcare delivered in each community while ensuring it is delivered at an affordable price.
