Benefits You Can Use

MBGH recognizes most employers have a national or global benefit strategy, not a local one. As a result, our educational programs, research projects and knowledge base are designed to help employers of any size or location address a myriad of benefit challenges. Each year our members tell us the value of membership goes well beyond the cost of dues saving them time, training, consulting and staff resources. You don’t have to be in Chicago or the Midwest to take advantage of MBGH’s member benefits. Under a single membership, your benefits, medical and wellness team gains access to MBGH’s programs, staff and resources, regardless of their location.
