I am Cecelia Hobbs Gardner, the owner of CHG Insurance Services and a licensed Life and Health insurance agent. I thought you might want to know a little about who I am and why I think you would want to work with me to secure your Medicare insurance coverage.

I have traveled a non-traditional career path but feel like everything I have done has contributed in a meaningful way to finding myself here. I have been a professional freelance violinist working, primarily, in New York City since I graduated with a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School. 

I have enjoyed a very successful career—playing many Broadway shows, classical music concerts, in New York ballet orchestras, and in the many recording studios in NYC. I also have been fortunate to work with major stars on tour around the world. But I wanted to add something to those experiences to challenge myself. So, I attended law school and became a practicing attorney for entertainment-focused companies as well as at The Juilliard School. Along the way, my own personal family story intervened and I became very interested in healthcare for Seniors and how challenging it can be to secure the best and most affordable coverage.

I eventually transitioned to work as a Health Benefits Specialist at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly, The Actors Fund) and found my “calling”. I specialized in Medicare counseling and enrollment and realized that I can do some of my most important work helping people to find Medicare insurance coverage that is customized to their medical and financial needs and well-matched to their personal lifestyle. When I wanted to expand my client base, I started CHG Insurance Services, which allows me the freedom to work with anyone (in the states where I am licensed) who needs help navigating the Medicare “maze”.

I believe that the hardest part of your Medicare journey is getting started and, most importantly, starting at the right time. I am here to help you from the beginning and until you find the coverage that is best suited to your needs.
