Your responders selflessly face many risks while they serve and protect your community—and they deserve the best insurance protection available. A serious illness could happen at any time, impacting them physically, emotionally and financially. Critical Illness Insurance can help by offering a lump sum payment for covered illnesses and give your paid and unpaid personnel financial benefits to help them through these tough times.
We offer a Critical Illness product to help provide coverage for cancers and illnesses that are not addressed by traditional Accident + sickness and Workers' Compensation policies. This coverage includes financial benefits for members who suffer from heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and cancer—and includes coverage for all members of an emergency service organization.
