Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health


One of the benefits of FEC membership is the right to participate in a Federation-wide program of self-insurance to cover catastrophic health care costs. While this operates under the auspices of the Federation, the governing bodies for FEC and PEACH are distinct.
