Something new for NCWC members!
Something new is being offered to all memebers of NCWC, and to members of Federates - health and dental insurance through

This came about because it was recognized that many women were not able to get this coverage. If you are not covered by a group health plan or not satisfied with the health coverage you have today, Manulife Financial may be the answer for you.
