National Health Partners
HORSHAM,
Pa - (BUSINESS WIRE) -
MHCC
is comprised of over 300 member companies, including Michigan's leading
Hispanic-owned companies, original equipment manufacturers, tier one
suppliers, non-automotive Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies
and community-based organizations.
MHCC enhances Hispanic-owned businesses and member companies by
providing resources and service that aid in business development while
contributing to the community.
Under the agreement, MHCC will be making the
company's CARExpress membership programs available to its member
companies.
"We are very pleased to offer
CARExpress' health discount programs to our member companies," stated Raymond Lozano, Executive Director of
the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. "One of the most significant
concerns for the Hispanic community is healthcare coverage. Comprehensive health insurance is
becoming far too expensive for most people to purchase, and employee
contributions are increasing all the time. We believe that National Health
Partners, through its innovative CARExpress membership programs, is
filling a significant void in the healthcare industry. Its membership programs provide our
member companies' employees with significant savings on their healthcare
at very affordable prices. We
are looking forward to making their membership programs available to our
ever-growing list of member companies."
"We are very excited that the
Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has chosen to make our CARExpress
health membership programs available to its impressive list of member
businesses," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive
Officer of National Health Partners.
"We believe strongly in MHCC's mission to assist the Hispanic
community. We are proud to
work with MHCC to help them address one of the Hispanic community's
greatest concerns - the need for affordable healthcare. Working together, I believe that
we can help many members of the Hispanic community to obtain the
healthcare they need at affordable prices."
The Hispanic business
community is the fastest growing business segment in the United
States. There are currently
over 10,000 small, medium and large Hispanic businesses located in
Michigan alone. The U.S.
Department of Commerce recently reported that it estimates that the number
of Hispanics who are uninsured increased from 13.9 million people in 2005
to 15.3 million people in 2006 - an increase of over 10%. It also reported that
approximately 34.1% of the U.S. Hispanic population was uninsured in 2006,
compared to 15.8% of the total U.S. population.
