SCORE workshop examines health insurance options

JACKSON TWP. A workshop designed to address health insurance questions facing small business owners and non-profit groups is planned by the Canton Regional Chapter of SCORE for Tuesday.

Employee health benefits consultant Brenda Basso will present the program, which will offer assistance for business owners evaluating the type of benefits they might offer employees and how to finance the benefits. The program will examine options available, along with pros and cons.

Basso will discuss factors driving trends in health insurance, including prescription drug prices, hospital and physician fees, technology advances, and the increase in chronic health conditions linked to an aging population. She also will address employee perspectives on health insurance, its costs and the impact on employee retention and turnover.

The program will be in the Conference Center at the Kent State University Stark campus. Sign-in starts at 8:45 a.m., with the workshop running from 9 to 11 a.m. Register at www.canton.score.org and click Local Workshops.
