July events at Pueblo West Library

“Your money or your health, for small business.” Tuesday, July 28 @ 6pm.
Holly Hanson, CEO of Health Access Pueblo will speak at Pueblo West Library and answer questions about health care reform, small businesses, and coverage options
Health care reform is on everyone’s mind. Small businesses are feeling an especially hard pinch. Accelerating health-care premiums and sharp revenue shortfalls due to the recession are forcing some small companies to choose between dropping health insurance or laying off workers -- or staying in business at all. Holly will speak about the current federal health care initiatives and address concerns small business owners have with these proposals, and introduce options for coverage that are affordable and manageable.

Holly has been an independent insurance agent for over 10 years and worked for managed health care companies for another 10. She has been on the Legislative Committee for the National Association of Health Underwriters, and as the CEO of Health Access Pueblo she works with small employers on a daily basis on health care coverage benefits and management.
