“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.

Raleigh originated in 1792 as Wake Crossroads. Its original mission was to serve as a place for those traveling north to south or vice versa to stop for a rest. Completed in 1840, the North Carolina Capitol building is, by its own admission "one of the finest and best-preserved examples of a major civic building in the Greek Revival style of architecture." It was here at the capitol building that state legislators signed the Ordinance of Secession in the House of Commons Chamber.

Raleigh remained a small town until the 1920s, at which point it began to bustle, soon developing into the commercial nexus of the eastern part of the state. Agriculturally, the economy switched from cotton to tobacco, and the railroad was built up to connect Raleigh to the surrounding rural communities and beyond. Many of the small towns of eastern North Carolina that today remain small towns - their character and architecture - were fashioned in these early years of the century, courtesy of the railroad and tobacco.

By the end of World War II, Raleigh had begun its steady advance into the urban center that it is today, with the surrounding area remaining predominantly rural, as it did until the birth of Research Triangle Park.

The arrival of suburban life was heralded in 1949 with the opening of the southeast's first shopping mall, Cameron Village, which continues to more or less thrive.

Along with the business of state government, education is a major enterprise in Raleigh. In addition to North Carolina State University, Raleigh is home to Shaw University, St. Augustine's College, Peace College, Meredith College and Wake Tech Community College. Both Shaw and St. Augustine's were established shortly after the end of the Civil War - in 1865 and 1867, respectively - to educate freed slaves; Shaw was the first such institution established in the country for that purpose. Shaw is also the site of Estey Hall, the first building ever constructed for the purpose of providing higher education to African-American women, in 1874; the building still stands today.

This was in large part due to the establishment, in 1948, of the North Carolina State University School of Design, which attracted a number of influential modernist architects. The most prominent of the structures to rise from this movement was Dorton Arena, completed in 1952, designed by the Polish architect Matthew Norwicki, who helped rebuild Warsaw after WWII. Dorton continues to this day to be considered one of the most elegant livestock-judging facilities in perhaps the entire world.
