2024 NABIP Capital Conference

The SAHU crew made quite the impression at the NABIP's 2024 Capitol Conference. With team members Dave Fear Jr., Brad Wright, Carrina Jensen, David Brabender, and Rosamaria Marrujo leading the charge, we didn't just attend; we left our mark. Our adventures included engaging discussions with legislators such as Rep. Mike Thomson of California's 4th District and Senator Laphonza Butler or California. We gained valuable networking with peers, and participating in the standout Cap Con Superhero PAC Event.

Highlight of the event? Our Region 8 clinched the award for Highest Total Annual Contributions to NABIP PAC, showcasing our commitment and leadership. Not to be outdone, CAHIP was honored with the Legislative Excellence Award, affirming our impactful presence and advocacy in the health insurance sector.

It was more than a conference; it was a demonstration of SAHU's dedication and influence. Here's to our remarkable achievements and the momentum they bring to our mission!

February Member Meeting Recap

The Impact of Social Health on Employers’ Workforce

Jennifer Castillo – Workforce Health Consultant at Kaiser Permanente

Learn how social health is connected to employee wellness and gain actionable strategies you can share with customers to support their current employee well-being efforts.

Good Health Goes Beyond Good Health Care

Total health involves more than quality care. Social and economic factors, such as where people are born, live, and work, have a big impact on their health. Understanding employees’ total health will help organizations create wellness solutions to address any social health disparities they may experience.
