During the Pennsauken Township Committee Meeting on October 2, 2025, a local insurance broker presented a proposal to open a new office aimed at serving the community, particularly its Hispanic residents. The broker, who has over 13 years of experience in the insurance industry, shared his journey of relocating to the area nearly four years ago and his commitment to helping residents navigate healthcare options, including Medicaid.

The broker emphasized the challenges faced by seniors in accessing his current office, which operates by appointment only. To address this issue, he has been searching for a more accessible location for the past two years. Recently, he identified a potential site at 4400, previously a barbershop, and is seeking the township's approval to convert it into an office that would allow for walk-in appointments.

He highlighted the growing demand for his services, noting that he currently assists around 70 clients. The broker expressed his desire to make healthcare resources more accessible to the community, particularly for those who may struggle with transportation. His wife, who is also involved in the business, is now licensed and supports the operations.

The committee's response to this proposal will be crucial in determining the future of this initiative, which aims to enhance healthcare access for Pennsauken's residents. The broker's commitment to serving the community underscores the importance of local businesses in addressing specific needs and fostering inclusivity.
