The National Rural Education Association (NREA) is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Apollo Health Insurance, expanding resources available to rural school districts through innovative healthcare benefit strategies, employee education, and year-round support.
As school districts across the country continue to face rising healthcare costs, rural leaders often have fewer options for managing employee benefits while maintaining financial stability. Apollo Health Insurance is committed to positively impacting people’s lives by helping individuals and organizations navigate healthcare coverage with confidence. Apollo will work to provide rural districts with greater access to sustainable health benefit strategies and the information needed to make informed decisions that best serve educators, staff, and their communities.
“At Apollo Health Insurance, our mission has always been to positively impact people’s lives by taking the stress and complexity out of healthcare,” said Apollo Health Insurance COO Mark Gilmore. “Teaming up with the NREA allows us to take that mission directly to the heart of rural America. We are proud to provide rural school districts with transparent, high-quality, and cost-effective health coverage so teachers and staff can focus on the classroom, knowing their well-being is securely covered.”
The partnership will focus on key areas of support for rural districts like long-term sustainability and strategies to reduce burdens on rural families. Apollo works alongside district leadership to develop customized group health benefit strategies designed to better manage long-term costs while maintaining high-quality coverage while providing ongoing support. They recognize that the one-size-fits-all approach is not beneficial for the needs of rural districts. They also work directly with school employees to help families explore their coverage options that best fit their needs and budget. This approach helps reduce the burden of family healthcare costs while keeping the strength of the district’s core benefits.
“We are always working to enrich the lives of the rural communities we serve and partnering with Apollo Health Insurance will certainly do that,” said NREA Executive Director Dr. Melissa Sadorf. “Meeting the needs of our rural communities doesn’t start and end with educational resources. It also involves creating an environment in which the families have the best choices for their health coverage.”
NREA strives to form strategic partnerships that meaningfully support rural communities and rural children. By collaborating with Apollo Health Insurance, NREA members will benefit from expansions of sustainable resources available to promote wellbeing and success in our rural communities. Thank you to Apollo Health Insurance for joining us in our mission to advocate for every rural learner, educator, and community.
