The Hendricks County Government was facing a dramatic 11.4% increase in healthcare costs. They had to find a solution without compromising the quality of care that their more than 400 county employees were receiving. YOU The Hendricks County Council and Commissioners, along with insurance consultant H.J. Spier Company, Inc., partnered with Hendricks Regional Health to stave off this budget challenge. Together, we implemented a health clinic where government employees receive care with a reduction in time off from work, and participate in a range of wellness and prevention programs. It is truly a collaborative effort between three CAN organizations committed to the community.

Instead of the 11.4% increase they were expecting, the Hendricks County Government saw a negligible 0.75% average annual increase in healthcare costs since 2010 — translating into a savings of over $2 million.
