You've probably heard a little about health care reform. And if you're
an ELCA employer or sponsored member, maybe you've wondered:

• Am I going to have to do a ton of research to figure this out?
• Will I have to find a new health plan?

The good news is, the answer to those questions is no. As a ministry
of this church, Portico is leading the ELCA through health care reform
and working to keep the ELCA Health Benefits Plan strong for the sake of our shared ministry.

Rostered leaders, council presidents, treasurers, and members of finance committees are encouraged to attend this informational session to learn more about what impact the changes will have on your employees and on your congregation's budget.

We are one of 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
