Each quarter, MercyOne Health Plan recognizes outstanding broker performance by awarding Most Valuable Broker (MVB) award to the broker who produced the most business for the plan. 

And now, without further ado — drum roll please... 

Our 2025 First Quarter MVB is Marie Goldbeck-Strunk

Portrait of broker Marie Goldbeck Strunk

Meet Marie 

This is Marie’s first year being certified with MercyOne Health Plan. Raised in Iowa, Marie built her agency on trust, heart and a knack for making complicated health and Medicare choices simple. She partners with potential clients, walking them through every decision so they feel confident, covered and cared for—never lost in the fine print. Known for her clear communication, strategic guidance and a little bit of humor, Marie is the advocate her clients want in their corner. Beyond business, she’s a proud mom, grandma, wife and dog lover who believes family time is the best time. Marie’s mission: to make health insurance feel easy, breezy and like it was tailor-made to her clients. Marie's clients don’t just get an advisor—they get someone who truly has their back, every step of the way. 

The key to Marie's success

Marie felt empowered because she had support from her broker relations team. From general understanding of the health plan to answering questions, she felt supported in all of her endeavors. 

A fun fact about Marie 

She is a lifetime member of AMVETS, whose mission is to enhance and safeguard the entitlements for all American Veterans who have served honorably and to improve the quality of life for them, their families and the communities where they live through leadership, advocacy and services.
