Union Health’s vision is to lead Wabash Valley communities to their best health and wellness. As many community residents receive health insurance coverage through their employer, Union Health felt it was critical to develop an innovative solution to assist both the employer population and those they provide insurance to on their path to health and financial well-being. That’s why Union Health has decided to bring a local health insurance program that will service both self-insured and fully-insured employers in the Wabash Valley area beginning on January 1, 2021.
Union Health – An Integrated Health Plan is a partnership between Union Health and SIHO Insurance Services (headquartered in Columbus, IN). This new initiative allows Union Health to continue its commitment to the community by providing first-class wellness initiatives and care management services to members of area employers. The partnership with SIHO Insurance Services provides the ability for enhanced analytical reporting, ensures excellent customer service, as well as an ongoing partnership committed to exceeding the expectations of our customers.
“This is a very exciting initiative for our organization.” said Steve Holman, President and CEO of Union Health. “We are often approached by area business leaders regarding the challenges of managing the costs of employee health plans. This partnership better positions us to provide those business solutions while continuing to improve the health of their employees.”
“We believe that care should be delivered locally,” said John Sadtler, CEO of SIHO Insurance Services. “This initiative allows the health system to continue their tradition of providing high-quality care to their community members, SIHO will support those efforts by providing exceptional administrative service and data transparency to benefit the delivery of care.”

About Union Health
Union Health is an integrated health system made up of Union Hospital, Union Medical Group, and Union Hospital Clinton.
The primary focus of an integrated health system is to provide seamless care for patients and their families. What makes integrated health care special is the sharing of information among caregivers. By sharing health information through a single medical record system, important patterns can be detected and addressed quickly. Teamwork between caregivers supports "complete" treatment and improves overall patient well-being.
Compared to "traditional healthcare", coordinated care:
• Reduces stress for patients and patient families.
• Enhances access to services.
• Improves the quality of care.
