IRON RIVER – James Quayle, financial associate with Thrivent Financial, has been awarded a professional designation in the field of long-term care, Certified in Long-Term Care (CLTC).

The program is independent of the insurance industry and focuses on providing financial service professionals the tools needed to meet their client’s long-term care needs.

The Certified in Long-Term Care program is the long-term care insurance industry’s only independent professional designation.

“I strive to provide clients with a financial strategy that meets their needs,” said Quayle. “My ability to do that well depends on my understanding of their unique situation,”

“It is my responsibility to help people understand the emotional, physical and financial consequences associated with providing or paying for care over an extended period of time. It is essential they have this information so they can take action to protect those they love while they have options. I am committed to helping my clients create an appropriate plan to meet their specific needs,” said Quayle.

Thrivent Financial is represented in the local area by Quayle, who has offices at 116 North 4th Ave. in Iron River and can also be reached at (906) 265-9500.
