About Us - Grant Smith Health Insurance Agency

Welcome…

As a lifelong resident of Port Huron, Grant is uniquely in tune to the health insurance needs of St. Clair County residents. A dedicated professional since 1978, Grant Smith’s business is based on personal service. While being awarded numerous professional accolades, his success is built one client at a time. When you call you talk directly with Grant and his staff. Some people prefer impersonal relationships using the Internet. Therefore, you and your health insurance needs are treated only as a commodity. Grant is not that type of agent. “The Internet can be a great tool for information gathering, but it’s no substitute for a one-on-one dialogue. We believe in old-fashioned conversation to determine your health insurance needs, not sell you the ‘policy of the month’.” Grant’s health insurance business is experienced as an Independent Insurance Agency representing several top of the line insurance companies for individual, business and corporate needs. “We’ve helped thousands of individuals and businesses achieve peace of mind by listening to their concerns and tailoring health insurance programs that are both affordable and sensible.” We work for you long after your policy has been issued. A single phone call opens the door to your health insurance concerns being resolved. If you prefer experienced, personal and professional attention, call today for a one-on-one conversation… you’ll be glad you took the time to do it right.
