Helping You Take Care of Your Financial Future if You Need Critical Care

Critical Illness Insurance

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States.1  According to a study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in comparison to the general U.S. population, firefighters are 9 percent more likely to receive a cancer diagnoses and 14 percent more likely to die from the disease.2  This alarming statistic—as well as other common health issues including heart attacks, kidney failures, and strokes—has led to critical illness becoming one of the most talked about issues among emergency services workers.
