About Amy Blain

As an Employee Benefits Advisor at Vizance, I advocate for HR professionals within mid-sized companies and use my expertise and resources to help them create efficiencies within their organizations. What drew me to Vizance was the message that each client should be seen as an extension of the \"Vizance family\". Everyday, I am excited for the opportunity to educate, consult and implement new and life changing programs within businesses that would otherwise not have the resources to provide those services to their employees. Topics ranging from health care reform to facilitating a wellness plan that decreases absenteeism and increases productivity. Vizance is more than just an independent broker that provides the same old plan designs and status quo customer service. We want to lead you through to the future of health care and help you to make the decisions that best suite your business. At Vizance, we\'re a team of people who posses an inherent sense of purpose, energy, creativity and passion. We stand out through our uncompromising integrity and sincere concern for our clients\' success. We believe in putting people first - we value our client and associate relationships and the fresh perspective each individual brings to the table. A career with Vizance means being part of something truly meaningful, serving our clients and our communities out of genuine concern and a fundamental desire to serve others.
