Recognized by Westfield Insurance as a top performing independent insurance agency for the seventh consecutive year, Waters Fanta Insurance Agency announced today its donation of $5,500 to Westbrook Health Services. The funds will go toward critical client needs.

Serving the Mid-Ohio Valley since 1964, Waters Fanta Insurance Agency is the only agency in West Virginia to achieve a Propel designation this year. According to Westfield, Propel agencies are among Westfield’s top performers, committed to customer satisfaction and superior industry performance.

“Our team at Waters Fanta Insurance Agency is always seeking opportunities to volunteer and support our community,” said Amy Fanta Caruthers, Agent. “Our continuous top-tier performance allows us to make an even greater positive impact on our community, including furthering the important programs provided by Westbrook Health Services.”

Each year, Westfield’s Propel agencies are invited to nominate a local nonprofit in their community to receive a donation. Donations are made to dozens of nonprofits in cities across Westfield’s national footprint as part of its Legacy of Caring program, which focuses on helping families or businesses stabilize or recover from disasters.

“We are grateful for the generous support to Westbrook Health Services," said Chase Morano, Marketing & Communications Manager. “The Legacy of Caring grant will have a direct impact on some of our most vulnerable clients, who need extra help. These funds will help those who cannot afford copays, medications, etc. We are happy those individuals will have access to this support.”

On the local level, Waters Fanta Insurance Agency has partnered with the Westfield Foundation to award a total of $54,000, since 2018. Previous local recipients include West Virginia University of Parkersburg Foundation; American Red Cross of Parkersburg; Children’s Home Society of WV – Parkersburg; Boys & Girls Club of Parkersburg, and Parkersburg & Wood County Public Library.
