North Carolina (NC) Health Insurance Morehead City, NC
“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:

Morehead City was the brainchild of John Motley Morehead, governor of North Carolina from 1841 to 1845. Governor Morehead saw the commercial potential of Shepherd's Point, the promontory at the intersection of the Newport River and Beaufort Inlet, and envisioned "a great commercial city" there. Morehead and his associates acquired a large portion of the surrounding property and then made plans to extend the North Carolina Railroad from Goldsboro to Shepherd's Point. A public auction was held in 1857, and 150 lots were sold in the new town. The Civil War interrupted Morehead City's development as a port. Following the war, the shipping terminal deteriorated, but the railroad continued hauling vast quantities of seafood to the state's inland sections. In the late 1800s, Morehead City received a new group of residents from nearby Shackleford Banks. Many whaling families were driven from Diamond City and the other Shackleford settlements by the great hurricane of 1899. While most of these salty folk moved to Harkers Island, one group came to Morehead City and settled along present-day Bridges Street in a tract still known as the "Promised Land." Until recently, Morehead City was known more as a resort community than a major port. A large charter-fishing fleet, the town's central location on the ICW, and the proximity to Atlantic Beach have all served to promote Morehead City as an ideal spot to spend a summer vacation. This popularity continues unabated. It is rare indeed to find a North Carolinian who has not spent at least one vacation in Morehead City. |
