The Creation of GSG Associates

After creating and developing a number of programs for United HealthCare, Glenda Garrard was a Vice President of their national Workers’ Compensation practice. In April of 1994, that position was about to be eliminated because of the purchase of another Workers’ Compensation services company. In a case of “the tail wagging the dog,” the new division of United HealthCare decided that Glenda was redundant as their VP of Workers Compensation and that there was not a good market in California for Workers’ Compensation.

On Friday April 15, 1994, Glenda received a call from the VP of the company that United HealthCare had newly purchased asking her to meet him on Sunday evening for a discussion. Glenda pressed him and he said it was to discuss her termination package. Glenda told him that she had given enough weekends to UHC and that she would negotiate her termination package with HR on her own. With this news, Glenda called Maureen Stratton and Gina Gribble into her office to discuss starting their own company. Well aware that she could find a job in the industry as she was very visible nation wide at that time, Glenda decided instead to go to work for herself and to realize her ideals of a company and to provide services to the Workers’ Compensation industry in California, that contrary to UHC’s assessment, desperately needed fundamentally sound medical management cost containment services. Having developed the entire group health and workers compensation programs for UHC, Glenda decided to work with Maureen Stratton and Gina Gribble to build a company that they would have ownership in.

The next few hours would be very busy for Glenda:
  • Since UHC was terminating its services in California, Glenda negotiated the intelligence for a number of programs in her termination package.
  • She then picked up the phone and called some of the soon to be stranded clients and offered the new GSG Associates services to them. Right off the bat, one of these clients was willing to buy the program from the nurses that had worked it for UHC. So GSG had its first client.
  • Now it was time to find an office; Glenda then called a neighbor who had a television production company with an office in Pasadena and she had extra desks and phone lines, so GSG Associates had an office, phone line, and FAX number. GSG had an office.
  • Additionally, Glenda negotiated keeping her lap top computer and printer from UHC, so GSG had its first computer and we were able to produce our work product.
On Monday April 18, 1994, GSG Associates opened its doors and came into existence.
