Chapters

We're very fortunate in Northeast Ohio is it is a very competitive market. We have like nine carriers with whole plethora of options. They've got me was, they've got level funded, they've got full blown self funded, we've got captives, we've got all sorts of different options that aren't available even in other parts of the state. We are also very fortunate. We have three great hospital systems that aren't always necessarily in different networks and if you're not in the area, you don't know what that means.
