Allsup Names Community-Based Representative Serving Chicago, Milwaukee and Larger Region
Brian Keegan will focus on increasing awareness of Social Security Disability Insurance in Chicago and parts of Illinois, as well as Milwaukee and Wisconsin statewide
Belleville, Ill.– July 29, 2008 –
Allsup, which represents people nationwide for
Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, has named
Brian Keegan to the position of community-based representative in the Chicago area. He also will serve the region of Illinois north of Springfield, as well as Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin.
Keegan will provide information and educational resources about the federal Social Security Disability Insurance program, and the assistance that is available for people with disabilities. He will reach out to social workers, case managers, physicians and medical professionals to help people who are unable to work because of a disability. “Allsup is very excited with the addition of Brian Keegan to help expand the SSDI education process that the company began nearly 25 years ago,” said Karen Hercules-Doerr, national sales director of consumer sales and marketing.
“Patients who can’t work because of a traumatic injury or incident, or subsequent to a progressive chronic illness, are overwhelmed with worry and questions about their financial future,” Ms. Hercules-Doerr said. “They often turn to medical professionals with their questions, and Allsup is working to provide the resources and information these professionals need to further support patient care.”
Keegan has nearly 10 years of experience in healthcare related sales positions, including consulting and sales of pharmaceuticals and medical products. His past experience includes nearly five years with Ventiv Health Inc., a marketing services provider for companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly and Abbott Laboratories.
