MARSHFIELD – Security Health Plan of Wisconsin, Inc., was awarded the Business Health Care Group (BHCG) Leading Change, Creating Value Award at the BHCG 2020 annual meeting in Milwaukee.
BHCG is a coalition of employers whose mission is to improve health care quality and cost efficiency for employers, employees and the community.
