Fallon Community Health Plan: Eastern and Central Massachusetts (3% discount)

There is a membership fee to participate and yet your company's net annual savings could total hundreds of dollars. The Chamber Health Coop also provides a health and wellness program for your employees at no extra cost, helping to keep your staff healthy and productive.

Enrollment is now open for coverage that can begin as soon as August 1, 2012. To find out more, visit www.ChamberHealthCoop.com .

It was the unceremonious and near unanimous, no-action vote on Article 22.
