Apollo Health Insurance: A Legacy of Growth, Innovation, and Excellence
Founded in 2010 by Scott Eckley, Apollo Health Insurance set out to redefine the health insurance industry by prioritizing exceptional service and delivering innovative solutions. Scott’s vision extended beyond building a trusted brokerage—he aimed to create a company agile enough to adapt to the ever-changing needs of its clients. In 2015, his son, Luke Eckley, joined the organization, bringing fresh insight and accelerating Apollo’s growth trajectory. On August 9, 2022, his other son, Mark Gilmore, joined Apollo as Chief Operating Officer, further strengthening the company’s leadership team. Originally based in Kansas City, Apollo has since grown into a nationally recognized leader in the health insurance sector.
A pivotal milestone came in 2019 when Apollo welcomed its first large class of agents, establishing a foundation for consistent annual recruitment to meet increasing client demand. This strategic approach to expansion has enabled Apollo to scale effectively while preserving the personalized service its clients value most.
Our Mission
At Apollo, our mission is to positively impact lives—starting with our employees. We believe that by creating a supportive and empowering environment for our team, this commitment naturally extends to how they serve clients and engage with our communities. By prioritizing our employees, we ensure a ripple effect of positive interactions and meaningful relationships.
We are dedicated to equipping our team with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate complex situations and provide exceptional support to our clients. Our goal is to guide and inspire, offering clarity and solutions during what can often be challenging and frustrating times.
Our Values
Our core values are the foundation of who we are and the driving force behind how we operate. They are not just words on paper—they are principles that influence every decision, shape the culture we foster, and set the standard of excellence we strive to uphold in every interaction. These values embody our dedication to continuous growth, uncompromising integrity, and delivering exceptional service to those who place their trust in us.
We believe in the power of hard work and perseverance, knowing that true achievement requires consistent effort and unwavering commitment. We embrace sacrifice, recognizing that meaningful success often demands putting the needs of others and the organization above our own. Trustworthiness is central to our relationships, ensuring that clients, partners, and colleagues can depend on us without hesitation. We face challenges with courage, approaching obstacles as opportunities for innovation and progress. And above all, we pursue excellence—not as a destination, but as a constant pursuit to raise the bar in everything we do.
It is through these values that we continue to build a company defined by purpose, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to those we serve.

Our commitment doesn’t stop at our employees and clients. We actively seek opportunities to give back to our communities, addressing local needs and making a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors. Through these efforts, we aim to foster stronger, more resilient communities. As a health insurance brokerage based in Kansas City, we are proud to be deeply engaged with both the Lee’s Summit and Blue Springs Chambers of Commerce.
