As part of the deal, Emrick Group co-owners and siblings Brenda Emrick-Kennedy and John Emrick become owners in Integrity. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
Emrick Group markets Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement products, as well as a wide range of other senior market life and health products through a network of agents in 21 states.
