The Agent Alliance: Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives Partners with Envela Insurance on the "Life Is Personal" Initiative

We are thrilled to share that Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives (ICSL) has partnered with Envela Insurance, a platform built for independent agencies and agents. This joint initiative, Life Is Personal, unites data, technology and human insight to help the independent channel champion prevention alongside protection. 

The campaign connects insurance protection with preventive wellness, positioning independent agents as trusted advocates for healthier communities and more resilient workforces. By equipping agencies with credible health data, educational tools and engagement resources, Envela and ICSL extend the influence of the independent distribution network beyond traditional risk transfer. 

"The next era of insurance isn’t reactive, it’s preventive. Through our partnership with ICSL, we’re making insurance more human, proving that prevention belongs at the heart of protection. Every policy represents a person, and when we help families take preventive steps, we’re not just protecting lives; we’re improving them. I’m honored to join ICSL’s Agent Advisory Council to help advance the mission to save a million lives.”  - Kenneth Hampton, Founder and CEO, Envela Insurance

Addressing America’s health risks 

ICSL identifies five critical health drivers behind rising national mortality and disability rates: cardiac and circulatory conditions; neurological and nervous system disorders; metabolic and digestive issues; cancer; and external causes such as accidents and injuries. 

With U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data revealing disability rates at all-time highs, the collaboration gives independent agents practical ways to discuss emerging health risks, share prevention resources and integrate wellness insights into everyday client relationships. Through Life Is Personal, ICSL provides agencies with prevention toolkits, educational assets and access to discounted blood-testing opportunities tied to these five health drivers, enabling agents to support early detection and long-term well-being as part of a broader protection strategy. 

“Life is Personal' is a movement empowering agents to shine a spotlight on these critical health issues, forging generational trust by preventing crises before they strike—ensuring they’re the trusted family advisor in times of need and driving long-term retention for insurers,” said Richard Watts, Vice President of ICSL Board of Directors

As trusted advisors, agents connect with policyholders consistently, making us uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change," said Marci Sheeran, CLTC, LUTCF, ICSL Agent Advisory Council. "By addressing these emerging health dynamics, we can guide both individuals and employers toward better health outcomes, leveraging our relationships to make a lasting impact."
