“I would like to thank everyone at Provident for all your help and support over the past year and a half. The shock of having a heart attack at my age was more than I could have imagined. Being a firefighter, I have thought I might be injured while fighting a fire, but the last thing I would have thought was having a heart attack.
I especially want to thank Mark Schmitt for all his support when I was not sure what to do; he was there to walk me through it. Mark was always there to answer my questions and always with a kind and understanding attitude. He just said, ‘Leave it to me and I’ll take care of it. You just concentrate on getting better.’
Provident helped make a difficult situation more bearable. Your help took a lot of stress off my shoulders, which was a large help to my recovery. I would recommend your company to other fire companies. I think they would be in very good hands having you as their insurance carrier. It would be my pleasure to speak on your behalf if you ever need it. I think every fire company in the country should know what a tremendous service you offer. It has been a year and a half since my heart attack and I still haven’t received a dime from workers comp, but I never missed a days pay thanks to Provident.”
