Physicians and the employee benefit professionals at Schwarz

Williams Companies agree: It’s impossible for one treatment to fit all.

Just as each patient receives a prescription for a specific health

problem, every employer — including your clinic — deserves an

employee benefit and strategic HR plan designed to meet the

specific needs of its staff.

Group health plans are now available through

Schwarz Williams, the endorsed broker of the

Minnesota Medical Association, Hennepin Medical

Society and Ramsey Medical Society.

The benefit and HR specialists at Schwarz Williams

can tailor a plan to help you reward your staff and

manage your costs. They offer broad experience in

conventional, HSA/HRA consumer-driven, flexible, and

voluntary health plans.

Schwarz Williams is also your one-stop source for

individual insurance products and financial services for you

and individuals on your staff: life and long-term care

insurance, long-term disability, retirement plans, and

financial and estate planning.

For more information, call Schwarz Williams at

763-591-5822 or 800-422-0504 or the MMA at

612-362-3746.

Physicians don’tprescribe the same treatment

for everyone.

Neither do we.
