Community Outreach and Involvement

At Health Insurance Specialist, we believe in not only serving our customers but also actively engaging with our local business community and staying informed about the ever-changing landscape of insurance laws and regulations. We recognize that the political scene directly impacts our clients, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of these changes to ensure we continue providing the best service possible.

Our company is proud to be an active participant in the following organizations:

NAFIA (National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors)
All of our agents regularly attend NAFIA meetings to further their education in insurance and financial advisory services. These sessions also provide valuable insights into potential changes in laws and regulations that could affect both our practice and our clients.

Wichita Chamber of Commerce
We are deeply involved in the Chamber of Commerce, participating in key groups such as:

o Chamber Champions Group

o Chamber Leads Group

Our team actively attends numerous meetings, where we connect with other business leaders, learn from industry experts, and engage with speakers who provide valuable knowledge. We also support new businesses in our community by attending open houses throughout the month.

In 2024, we were honored to be named a top-three finalist for the Small Business of the Year Award by the Wichita Chamber, a testament to our dedication to the community and our role in supporting local businesses.

We're honored to announce that we've received national recognition as a Marketplace Champion from CMS for the 2025 Marketplace Circle of Champions. Every agent in the office was awarded Elite status after helping hundreds of community members each have access to affordable Marketplace coverage during this last Open Enrollment!
