Tom Dewey, Medical Mutual Executive Vice President, People and Strategy added: “This is an opportunity for Medical Mutual to strengthen our market position, as this transaction allows us to immediately expand our current product offerings. And while Ohio is our home, we also look at this as an opportunity to strategically expand our geographic footprint as a framework for future growth.”
