Aflac Cache Valley Branch Expanded their Walls and Policies
New Building Along with Insurance Plans Announced

LOGAN, Utah – The Aflac Cache Valley branch has opened a new building and announced new plans affiliated with the national and international company to better assist clients. Although Aflac agents have been using the facility since June 1, clients will now be able to meet and discuss insurance topics and concerns within the building.

Darrell Rawlins, Aflac associate, has been working for the Cache Valley branch for almost 2 years and currently owns 19 accounts with individuals and businesses. Rawlins said the difference between the previous and new building is the individual work space each agent has. “It gives us a better working environment to plan and be with clients,” Rawlins said. The new building has an elegant décor, a conference room for meetings and a closing office where before, agents had to borrow an area for finalizing accounts.

Rawlins said the underlying goal of the new building is sales. “We thought, if we spend this money to get this new building and location, it will generate sales,” Rawlins said. “And hopefully it will.”

Rawlins said the building allows immediate street access on ground level and will attract the community by a larger sign and direct access off Main Street. “Hopefully this will bring in more off the street sales and get people interested in Aflac,” Rawlins said. “It will let the community and business owners know that Aflac is here.”

Barbi Harrington, Aflac associate since 2000, said new policies include a Lump Sum Cancer plan, a Lump Sum Critical Illness plan, and a new accident plan. The Lump Sum Cancer insurance policy may help with the treatment costs of cancer and the new accident plan now includes x-ray benefits and increased benefits for hazardous activities such as piloting and scuba diving. Upon diagnosis of a critical illness, such as paralysis, stroke, heart attack, or major human organ transplant, the Lump Sum Critical Illness plan may provide cash benefits to use for medical care.

For 50 years, Aflac products have given policyholders the opportunity to direct cash benefits where they are needed most when a life-interrupting medical event causes financial challenges. Aflac is the number one provider of guaranteed-renewable insurance in the United States. Aflac insurance products provide protection to more than 40 million people worldwide. The Cache Valley Aflac branch, in business since 1989, currently serves 400 to 500 businesses and individuals. To find out more about Aflac, visit http://www.aflac.com/.

  1. I can tell a difference in your first press releases with AP style and this one... it's the little things! Also, I liked the topic that you wrote on. I didn't know any of that information about Aflac.
