Don A. Jelniker, of Lakewood, Colo., has joined Advocate Health Advisors as Regional Manager. Jelniker will be responsible for recruiting, training and supporting insurance agents in Colorado.

Jelniker will help new and established agents grow their Medicare business and work with national insurance carriers that offer Medicare Advantage plans.

Advocate Health Advisors agents serve their clients while helping their communities live healthier, happier lives. The company has agents in all 50 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

At Advocate Health Advisors, local licensed agents help clients make important decisions regarding finding a Medicare plan that suits their healthcare needs. Agents provide support to clients before, during, and after the sale.

"We’re excited to have Don join the Advocate Health Advisors team. We look forward to the work he will do in Colorado to recruit top talent and support agents who will serve as guides for their Medicare clients,” Advocate Health Advisors Regional Director Jason Roll said.

Jelniker has more than 43 years of professional insurance and financial consulting experience. His experience in financial services will provide our agents an excellent resource in marketing, product, Social Security and Medicare knowledge. Jelniker holds a Bachelor of Science in Management and Insurance from Metropolitan State College.

“I look forward to helping agents provide health and financial wellness to their clients by providing agents with appropriate Medicare insurance products that offer a financial safety net," he said.
