A Leader in Health Insurance and Community Advocacy
Meet Amy Kern
Amy's journey in the insurance industry began when she worked for her dad, Roy Kern, a time marked by personal challenges when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Despite these difficulties, Amy persevered and eventually began an agency of her own, Kern Insurance Services, LLC in 2008.
Today, Amy's agency specializes in Medicare and Health in the Marketplace, providing essential services to seniors. The clients that she primarily works with are turning 65 or have Medicare. She helps them to get the best rates and understand all their options.
Amy and her husband sponsor children in Kenya and Bolivia through Compassion International. In 2016, she founded "Just Kindness," a volunteer group aiding numerous local organizations. Throughout her career, Amy has been dedicated to the education of her peers and community service.
Together with her husband, who has a background in corporate web security for Home Depot, they started Tremendicon, a Nonprofit Comic-convention to benefit Ozarks Food Harvest.
