In 1877, the Granite Workers’ Union was the first to offer sick benefits to its employees. They built a way for their community to rally around those who needed medical attention and support to get back on their feet. Today, The Granite List, powered by Connect Healthcare Collaboration, is working to instill that same sense of community by connecting benefits solutions that add real and lasting value to plan members.

Live at the SIIA 2022 Engage Conference, we have our special guest Mary Kay Puckett, Vice President of Employee Benefits at Alliant Insurance Services.

She says, "if there's friction, that's healthier because we represent the clients and we have to make sure that it is always within the client's best interest, whatever the decisions are." Her predictions for the near future include more emphasis on controlling the high dollar drug costs. Also, the focus on transparency helps control costs and make better decisions on health plans as companies consider working with us.
