With the recent acquisition of the former Utah Medical Insurance Association by MMIC Insurance, Inc., a Minnesota domiciled insurance company and the subsequent move of that companys headquarters and leadership away from Utah to Minnesota, MGIS saw a strong need and opportunity to expand its footprint in its home state. Now, as the only malpractice provider headquartered in Utah, MGIS offers Utah physicians increased security and peace of mind with an experienced and highly respected insurer.

MGIS has a rich history of working with physicians, who are currently experiencing major change and uncertainty; and now more than ever they need to feel secure and protected over the long term, says Jeff Brunken, president of MGIS. By bringing this unique malpractice program to Utah doctors, our goal is to not only provide the highest quality insurance program at the lowest cost, but have them look to us as their local, trusted insurance partner who only have their best interest in mind.

Through its partnership with Freedom Specialty, one of the strongest and highest-rated insurance carriers in the U.S., MGIS is able to offer Utah physicians maximum value with the greatest security at highly competitive prices. Utah physicians may qualify for Elite pricing at up to 30 percent cost savings*.

As the neighborhood insurance provider, we couldnt be more excited to bring our expertise to Utahs physicians, said Brunken. Having all underwriting decisions and the entire MGIS leadership team from sales to operations all based right in our doctors home turf enables us to deliver more effective and personal service. More than 40 years of experience serving physicians has given us a deep, genuine understanding of their needs and interests. We look forward to putting all of that to work here in the Utah malpractice arena, for the benefit of doctors and patients alike.

Australian food manufacturer Freedom Foods has added two new products, quinoa long-life milk and gluten-free breakfast muesli, to its range.

The two new products both contain the increasingly popular grain quinoa. Freedom Foods said the new products are being launched in recognition of the United Nations declaration that 2013 is the Year of Quinoa.

At Freedom Foods, we have strived for over 20 years to provide people with great tasting allergy-free foods, which helps them feel better, said Rory Macleod, Freedom Group Managing Director. We are excited to expand our portfolio of allergy-free products and provide the nations large community of healthy shoppers with a new and exciting way to consume this popular grain, he said.

The non-dairy Quinoa Milk also contains a popular ancient grain, Chia, which Freedom Foods says will provide Australias growing vegan community with a non-animal source of Omega 3 ALA. Freedom Foods says its new Quinoa Milk with Chia will capitalise on the strong growth occurring in the $130 million Australian Long Life Non-Dairy Milk market.

Freedom Foods said that while many products within the long life non-dairy segment use Malt Gluten as a sweetener, it had carved out a niche within the category as the only dedicated Gluten and Nut Free beverage brand in the market.

The Company said the new breakfast muesli, 3 Ancient Grain Muesli, was developed both to capture the growing interest in quinoa and the demand for fructose-free foods. The muesli also contains the grains sorghum and millet.

Freedom Foods Quinoa Milk with Chia and 3 Ancient Grains Muesli are available in Coles supermarkets and independent retailers.
