Acknowledgment of Excellence
In addition to Imagine360’s recognition, Stephanie Koch, the Director of Human Resources at Hendry Marine Industries, was celebrated as an Excellence in Benefits 2024 award recipient by Employee Benefit News (EBN).

Success Stories from Partnerships
The collaboration between Imagine360 and Stephanie Koch from Hendry Marine Industries has led to remarkable healthcare savings. With more than $22 million saved in comparison to traditional health plans, Koch has been able to reinvest these savings to maintain flat healthcare premiums for employees. This financial strategy allowed for the establishment of a new on-site clinic, enhancing access to preventive care for employees and fostering a healthier workforce.
Innovation in Preventive Care
Since the on-site clinic commenced operations in early 2022, it has continually improved in service offerings and utilization. The impact has been profound, with multiple employees reportedly having their lives saved due to the timely medical services provided. This exemplary case highlights the importance of strategic health investments driven by cost efficiencies afforded by partnerships with organizations like Imagine360.
Community and Care Coordination
At Hendry Marine, the philosophy of delivering exceptional service—akin to that of a Ritz-Carlton experience—is applied to all employees regardless of their role. Koch noted, “Working with Imagine360 has enabled us to save our employees money on healthcare expenses while designing plans tailored to our needs.” This partnership reflects an ethos of rewarding and responsible health care management, yielding considerable benefits for all stakeholders involved.
