This partnership connects Michigan employers with a trusted collective of high-quality, local healthcare providers, helping companies offer better access to care, improve employee experience, and manage healthcare costs more effectively.

HUB’s recent growth both within Michigan and nationally has positioned them as a thought leader in employee benefits innovation. It is an honor to partner with them to address the affordability challenges employers face today. Through this partnership, employers can take meaningful action to lower total cost of care while giving their people access to a collective of aligned, local providers.

Manifest and HUB International have committed to bringing differentiated solutions to market that both improve the quality of care for Michiganders while enhancing the patient experience for those seeking healthcare services.

Healthcare affordability is no longer a background cost—it's a frontline business challenge. HUB believes employers hold more power than they realize to reshape how healthcare gets delivered and purchased. The employers who are winning right now are the ones who stopped being passive buyers and started acting like strategic partners with their providers.
—Jon Porta, Employee Benefits Executive Vice President of HUB Midwest

HUB's vision is to be everywhere risk exists—both today and tomorrow. We've tracked the evolution of what employers demand from their broker and consulting partners. The market has changed and the old playbook simply doesn't keep up. We are committed to bringing innovative solutions that can address our clients' needs both now and in the future. We are excited to partner with Manifest to do just that.
—Gabe Vanderjagt, Chief Sales Officer of HUB Midwest
