Healthcare organizations will find a single integrated structure at Brown & Brown following the rollout of Brown & Brown Healthcare.

The brokerage giant said it has launched a fully integrated, all-lines national healthcare practice that consolidates its healthcare capabilities into a unified platform. The company said the initiative brings together more than 140 professionals into a specialized team serving the full spectrum of healthcare organizations. Collectively, the practice will support hundreds of customers and place billions in premium in US and international markets.

The national healthcare unit will be co-led by Matthew Siciliani and Tracy Hoffman, with strategic guidance from Bob Dubraski, practice chairman. Dubraski joined the company through Brown & Brown’s acquisition of Risk Strategies, and Brown & Brown said he has experience building and integrating national healthcare practices and helping healthcare organizations design and implement enterprise-wide risk strategies.

Brown & Brown said Siciliani and Hoffman bring hands-on technical experience in managed care and professional liability underwriting, captive reinsurance and risk consulting for healthcare organizations across the country, alongside leadership experience in talent acquisition, team development and organizational behavior.

“Healthcare organizations today face complex, rapidly evolving risks,” said Steve Hearn, president of Brown & Brown’s Retail segment. “By forming a national healthcare practice around this team of seasoned professionals, we’re demonstrating our commitment to delivering integrated, innovative risk management solutions, empowering our customers to focus on providing quality care.”

Retail senior leader Joe Siech said the structure centers on specialist collaboration and consistent service delivery. “The strength of Brown & Brown Healthcare lies in the experience and collaboration of its leadership. We’ve assembled a team of true specialists who understand the challenges facing healthcare systems and bring the strategic perspective needed to address them. This structure helps to ensure we can deliver consistent, high-quality support as the industry continues to evolve,” Siech said.

Brown & Brown said the integrated structure provides end-to-end service across production, placement and customer service engagement, with support across professional liability, managed care reinsurance, value-based care, property, executive and cyber liability, workers’ compensation, captive management, actuarial services, surety and data analytics platforms.

The announcement arrives while employers continue to prioritize health benefit cost management and risk controls. In Brown & Brown’s 2025 Employer Health and Benefits Strategy Survey, based on responses from 760 US employers with at least 200 employees, controlling cost ranked among the top priorities, with 81% citing medical and/or pharmacy RFPs as a leading cost-control initiative.

Internationally, Brown & Brown’s health distribution presence has also been active. In October 2025, Premier Choice Healthcare, the company’s UK-based health insurance hub acquired Healthcover Ltd, a specialist in personal and business PMI and international health cover for UK-based customers, and described the deal as its 10th since joining Brown & Brown Europe in August 2020.
