CSA Farm Share Program – We
have partnered with 3rd Day Farm
for the last 2 years to provide organic,
local food to our employees. Employees
have the option to sign up and have
the cost payroll deducted from their
checks. Once a week during the sum-
mer months, 3rd Day Farm delivers
their Farm Share to the Hospital

love this program. The first year we
had nearly 70 employees sign up. Last
year we capped it at 50.

employees at an extremely discounted
rate of $100. (Munson is picking up the

Group here at the hospital. Each week
for 12 weeks 18 employees will get
together for a Weight Watchers class
and weigh in. We were able to offer
this program at a discounted rate due
to Munson paying for a portion of the
tuition.

A New Health Insurance
Solution for Members

For many small businesses, the current health insurance landscape provides you and your employees with limited
choices and flexibility. TranscendAHP was created as a health insurance solution that pools members together with
the benefit of providing lower premiums and expanded benefits that currently only large businesses can obtain.

The Cadillac Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to endorse the TranscendAHP for our members with 50 or
fewer enrolled contracts.

TrandscendAHP allows small businesses to attract and retain top talent by offering a robust health insurance
package with affordable rates. To provide you with a more competitive set of solutions, Transcend has
collaborated with Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of Michigan (BCBSM) and Blue Care Network (BCN) to offer a multiple
employer welfare arrangement designed as a fully-insured benefit option for businesses with 50 or fewer enrolled
contracts, including sole proprietors.

Advantages of an Association Health Plan:

• Access to an exclusive menu of health insurance plan options from BCBSM and BCN, many of which are not
available to small business owners outside of the Association Health Plan. All plans have been selected to
appeal to the varying needs of Michigan small business owners.

• Access to the vast BCBSM and BCN network of physicians and hospitals.
– Special pricing that could lower your premiums.
– You continue to use the independent insurance agent of your choosing.
– Enhanced billing, enrollment and customer service.

How it works:
Notify your licensed health insurance agent that you would like a quote from the team at Transcend. If you're not
already working with an agent, we can connect you with someone in your area.

Members of the Cadillac Area Chamber of Commerce must also be a member of Transcend. However, we have
negotiated significant savings on dues to give you access to all that Transcend has to offer. Make certain
that you tell your agent that you are a Cadillac Area Chamber of Commerce member.

For more information, please contact 877-888-6020 or email info@transcendmichigan.org.

everyone there and was stopped many times in the hallways and
elevators as people congratulated her and wanted to chat. She
just beamed and said that she was enjoying all the love. In reality,
Dawna was feeling so much love back because she gave it out on a
daily basis. She will be deeply missed.

program receives funding from partners in the
