“First, foremost, and always, our main focus is to identify the true needs of our clients and fill those needs with the best North Carolina health insurance (BCBSNC®) products on the market and the best customer service in the industry.” -- Jerry Ballard, Owner, Jerry Ballard & Associates

In spite of his 34 years in the health insurance business and his many professional accomplishments and industry awards, Jerry Ballard is a modest man who never loses sight of what is really important – taking care of his clients.

After a 20-year career with Mutual of Omaha, Ballard launched his own independent insurance agency in 1995. “I knew I could service clients better by showing them a variety of products from different companies, instead of trying to fit one company’s products on all,” Ballard explained.

When he brought his NC health insurance business to the Internet in February of 2000, Ballard worked hard to create a friendly website that was easy to understand and easy to get around. His goal was to make his website “a close second” to meeting his clients in person.

His steady focus on his clients’ needs in person and on the Internet has quickly made Ballard the #1 Salesman for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC®) Individual Insurance Sales.

When all is said and done, nothing speaks louder about Jerry Ballard than these statistics:

• 80 – 90% of his clients refer family members and friends to him
• 90% of his clients stay with him year after year.

Choose from the best insurance companies and plans in the industry.

If you have any questions about a certain plan, just call Jerry Ballard & Associates for the answers. He and his four-person support team know these products inside out; they will explain anything that is confusing and guide you to the best plans for your personal needs.

Every step along the way, you will be treated to exemplary customer service by the Jerry Ballard team.

Gastonia, centered in the middle of Gaston County, began as a railroad junction settlement between the Charlotte and Atlanta Airline Railroad, now the Southern Railway, and the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge line. The location of the railroads in Gaston County moved the focus of the land from essentially agriculture to what would become one of the greatest centers for textile production in the world. By 1876 a population of a little more than 200 people made this junction crossroads, called Gastonia Station, their home. The community petitioned the North Carolina General Assembly to grant a charter of incorporation, with the increase of employment and social opportunities. On January 26, 1877, Gastonia incorporated with its limits extending 1/2 mile from the railroad junction.

Gastonia is located in the Piedmont, a region of rolling hills, frequent streams and rivers, and red clay soils. The Piedmont area of North Carolina rises out of the Atlantic Coastal Plain and follows a general northeast to southwest axis, extending from south central Virginia to northeast Georgia. To the west of the Piedmont lie the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. An oak and hickory forest once covered the region. The original virgin forest has been virtually eliminated through clearance for agriculture, pasture and urban development. Replacing the original forest in undeveloped areas is a second or later growth forest of mixed hardwoods and evergreens. Tree species cultivated today are those that provide benefit to urban areas through beauty, erosion control, privacy and shade. Such trees include oak, maple, dogwood, evergreens, and flowering trees.
