Health Benefits Associates (HBA) celebrated the opening of its newest office location at 437 Pyramid Way, in downtown Sparks with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house.

With support from the Reno and Sparks Chamber of Commerce, Sparks City Council members Donald Abbot, Charlene Bybee and Diane Vanderwall, HBA clients, local healthcare partners, and more than 60 attendees toured the new facility.

With a presence already established by its four other offices throughout Reno, Carson City, Fernley, and Truckee, CA., the newest Sparks location marks an expansion to bring health insurance resources closer to the heart of the community.

“For many years, Sparks has been under-served by dedicated health insurance and Medicare advisors,” said Alex Sampson, president of Health Benefits Associates. “We couldn’t be more excited to fill the resource gap and better support the community with our new office in the heart of downtown Sparks.”

HBA has been serving Northern Nevadans for more than 25 years as a resource for those on Medicare, individual or family plans, and small business health insurance. By working with every insurance company operating in Northern Nevada, the team provides unbiased advice to those with insurance questions and needs.

“The Reno office was a bit of a way to travel, but I like the service my broker provides so I was willing to commute,” said Linda Lambert, Lockwood resident and HBA client. “They were always available, but it wasn’t always convenient
