2026 Healthcare Network - October

Open enrollment is approaching, and Fayette County employers are facing another year of rising healthcare costs, complex coverage choices, and increased pressure to make benefits decisions that work for both their budgets and their teams.

Join the Fayette Chamber Healthcare Network for a focused forum featuring local insurance, healthcare, and business leaders who will help employers navigate the “choppy waters” of health coverage. Speakers will break down open enrollment trends, explain options such as direct primary care, level-funded plans, MEWAs, ICHRAs/CHOICE, and SHOP, and share a local case study on keeping premium increases in check.

Attendees will leave with clear, practical next steps to evaluate coverage options, manage costs, and support employee health before renewal decisions are due.

Who should attend: Chamber members and Fayette County business owners, HR and benefits decision-makers, and anyone responsible for choosing or managing employee healthcare coverage.

Format: In person at the Fayette Chamber, with live Zoom streaming and recording available for those who can't attend on-site.
