Share How You Provide Positive Health Benefits to Employees

Are you an employer who is proud of how you provide health benefits to employees? Share how you are leading with our Congressional Delegation! We invite you to join a pro-business (America’s Health Insurance Plans) AHIP coalition championing the significance of employer provided health coverage and its positive impact on over 3 million Minnesotans.

Attend a roundtable discussion with Congresswoman Angie Craig later this month. Partner with business voices in the coalition, including the Dakota County Regional Chamber, to talk to lawmakers about the value and benefits employers bring to our state's health. Reach out to Jon Althoff (jalthoff@dcrchamber.com) or Chelsea Thompson (ct@k2andcompany.com) for more on how to participate. See details here.
