“I was introduced to Jeff Hadden in 2004 when I started my career at the Indiana Credit Union League, where I am responsible for the management of our association health plan. Over the years, we have made major changes to our plan structure and LHD played a major role in making that transition. LHD is extremely knowledgeable, hard-working professionals who care about our clients as much as we do. I attribute much of the success of our plan to the team at LHD. Without them, we would not be where we are today.”
