Robert Weaver makes November 2016 cover of Tribal Business Journal
Quapaw, Oklahoma (PRWEB) November 07, 2016 -- Robert Weaver, a Quapaw tribal member, makes the cover of the November 2016 issue of Tribal Business Journal (TBJ). TBJ shares stories impacting 21st Century tribal economies including leading-edge best practices, relevant business, governmental and social topics, emerging human-interest stories and more. In the November issue, Weaver's career and commitment to improving affordable access to Indian healthcare are documented in an article by Levi Rickert titled “If We Don't Have Health, What Else Do We Have?"
As a teenager, Robert Weaver, president and CEO of the Native American insurance management firm RWI Benefits, LLC, lost a cousin to suicide. It was a traumatic experience he'll never forget. At that time, finding adequate, accessible health insurance coverage for mental health issues was very difficult. As an adult, he recognized a need to educate and protect tribal leaders from insurance providers eager to cash in on a lack of knowledge about reasonable coverage costs. Since 2007, his business has been committed to leveling the playing field for Native Americans and eliminating these disparities.
“I am so humbled by being honored on the cover of Tribal Business Journal,” says Robert Weaver, RWI Benefits, LLC, president. “My hope is that all Native Americans, no matter where we live, have access to quality and affordable healthcare.”
