In 2005, eight West Michigan school districts pooled their resources together to form The Pool, which expanded to include not only schools, but public service organizations like counties, cities, and mental health providers all over Michigan. The Pool offers quality benefits at a lower cost to employees and their families. But we're not just focused on savings – we provide market-leading offerings to positively impact every member's health and wellbeing.
