BOSTON, June 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management firm, today announced Jason Ellison has joined the firm as Employee Benefits Leader, National Health Care Practice.

Ellison joins Risk Strategies with more than two decades of hands-on experience leading teams that help clients design, fund, and administer their employee benefit programs.
