"Our personal commitment to the health care industry goes back over 30 years, and we have continually worked to provide our broker partners and their insureds with exceptional solutions in the health care space," said Bill Thompson, President and CEO of Manchester Specialty Programs. "For example, with emerging risks developing as a result of the shift in location of care, a tighter regulatory environment and increased cyber threats, we want to remain at the forefront of providing a comprehensive package solution that includes additional coverages that address these risks and others. With Allied World as our partner, we are able to accomplish this with broader coverage, greater limits and added-value risk management services."
