Chamber of Commerce

A Plan for Health H Chamber Care helps area small businesses provide excellent benefi ts affordably. By Bhairavi Bhatt ealth care costs can definitely add up, especially for small businesses as they are constantly working to- wards thriving while trying to offer good benefits for their employees. In a world of mega corporations providing effort- lessly obtainable health insurance for employees, Chamber Care in Fayetteville offers nearly identi- cal and affordable health benefits to local small businesses. Chamber Care features at least 34 unique health plans, affordable premiums, access to Cape Fear Valley Health system, and more. Chamber Care also offers special wellness benefi ts, includ- ing the Know Your Number program, a personal- ized disease risk assessment and improvement program. Know Your Number was developed as a precautionary system intended to discover the early signs of certain chronic diseases. This helps the physicians target any possible risk, and treat the chronic disease. "I really like the insurance plan as the cover- age is great," said Tonia Collins, co-owner of Huske Hardware House Restaurant and Brewery. "Our Chamber Care allows Chamber of Commerce members to choose between at least 34 unique health plans to fi nd the one that best fi ts their needs. employees love it more than any other insurance plan we've been on. It is also extremely cost effective for both employer and employee." Chamber Care also works closely with the insurance fi rm of Hill, Chesson & Woody, whose goal is to help clients create a health insurance plan for their employees, while supporting the planned direction of any business. Keeping a healthy lifestyle in mind, Chamber Care chose to work with Doctor's Direct Healthcare because their Healthy Living Program encourages and promotes an employee well-being program. Initially launched in 2009, Chamber Care has been successful in offering a generous amount of resources to provide realistic health benefi ts to local small businesses, while helping them thrive at the same time. Everyone who is a member of Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber is eligible for this unique health coverage program. With fi nancial advan- tage and well sought planning in mind, Chamber Care was created exclusively for Fayette- ville's small businesses.
