How It All Started.
LoCascio Hadden and Dennis, LLC is established by four industry veterans, all with equal ownership and a common vision for the future of benefit advisory services.
LHD founding member, David LoCascio establishes United Benefit Advisors (UBA), a group of partner firms dedicated to building a collaborative environment and raising the water line for independent insurance agencies across the country.
Our UBA partners collaborate to create the largest and most statistically credible benefits plan benchmarking survey in the country.
After more than doubling total headcount, LHD moves to new office space at 250 West 96th Street to accommodate growth.
LHD establishes Vital Incite, a data warehouse and population health analytics platform designed to bring light to health care spend, direct population health and wellness initiatives, and improve synergy between client vendors. Vital incite is invested in turning benefit plan data into actionable information.
LHD celebrates a major milestone, 20 years, and celebrates the company our founders built from four employees to 50+. We announce a new mission statement and core values, and distribute the first annual Report to Stakeholders.
