Access to Health Insurance

​The Chamber Benefit Plan is a health insurance plan available to members of the Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce  who have 2-50 employees.  Many area businesses are finding this to be a great benefit of their membership, providing them with more affordable coverage for their employees. Now businesses can also access life insurance, vision and dental plans.
​There are dozens of brokers across the state who can sell the Chamber Benefit Plan. Locally, coverage is available through Hawkins-Harrison Insurance.

Please contact the Chamber for more information on chamber membership, or contact
Hawkins-Harrison Insurance at 660-665-1212 for plan information.
