The History of Qlarant:
Quality. Clarity. Opportunity.™
For 50 years, our history has been rooted in commitment to quality improvement for organizations — and quality of life for the people they serve.
We began as Delmarva Foundation for Medical Care in 1973 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore as one of the country’s first quality review organizations for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Through the decades, we created entities that became nationally known, including Delmarva Foundation, Health Integrity and Quality Health Strategies.
Today, we’ve brought together these extensive resources and the expertise of more than 500 professionals under one brand — Qlarant — serving some of our nation’s most important programs in health, human services, government and insurance & financial services.
