Integrity. “This acquisition gives us a dedicated sales force in the state with
proven leaders to better serve the needs of the good people of Minnesota.”.
“Integrity
has exceeded all of my expectations since GoldenCare joined the Integrity
platform, so I decided to consolidate all of my insurance holdings under the
Integrity family,” said Anderson.. “I had planned to keep National Independent
Brokers running autonomously, but due to the incredible experience my team and
I have enjoyed with Integrity it just made sense to have everything together
under one ownership structure. Integrity has the energy and resources to take
this businesses to the next level.”.

is a great partner and a legend in the senior market and we’re excited to
