Local understanding. National expertise.
As part of Highstreet, we offer comprehensive personal and business insurance and more, in addition to our local knowledge in Altoona and Central Pennsylvania.
Business Insurance & Risk Management
We work with businesses and organizations to protect their property, people, operations and long-term financial stability. Our role extends beyond obtaining quotes. We help you identify exposures, evaluate coverage, understand their options and build an insurance strategy appropriate for where your organization is today—and where it’s going.
Employee Benefits
We help businesses and organizations of every size and type develop benefit strategies that balance three competing priorities: Controlling cost, protecting employees and competing for talent. We work particularly well with employers like you, who are ready to move beyond simply accepting an annual renewal and want to understand why your plan is performing the way it is and what can be done differently.
Personal Life Insurance
We are here to help you provide for your family and protect them from financial losses with the right life insurance policy. Our insurance options include term life, whole life, universal life and more. We’ll take the time to help you decide what coverage is right for you.
Comprehensive Personal Insurance
For generations, local families have trusted the agency to protect their homes, automobiles and personal assets. Being independent allows our team to evaluate coverage among multiple insurance companies rather than forcing every customer into one carrier's solution.
Flood Insurance
Floods can happen anywhere, at any time of year, and that includes Central Pennsylvania. Many families aren’t aware that their homeowners’ insurance may not cover damage from floods due to heavy rains, snow melt or other outside causes. We can help you assess your flood risk and show you options for coverage.
What people in Altoona and surrounding areas say about Highstreet.
Throughout our partnership, Kathy has been an invaluable resource and trusted advisor in helping Family Services navigate the increasingly complex landscape of employee benefits.
Lisa N. Hann, Executive Director
Family Services Incorporated
One thing I could always count on was Kathy fighting for us, to get the best rates on our behalf. Kathy was also my go to person anytime our employees had a problem with any health insurance issues like prescription copays changing, or a claim not getting paid properly.
Timothy B. Brown, Township Manager
Logan Township, PA
Working with Kathy has been a great experience. She took the time to understand our business. Every year she always explained our coverage options clearly, and helped us find a policy that fit our needs and budget.
Andrew Ritchey
Ritchey's Dairy, Inc.
Your professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were critical in informing the County of the services available and guiding the county through the transition under an extremely tight time frame. These services are a benefit not only to the employees but also a major cost savings to the County and its taxpayers.
David Kessling, President Commissioner
County of Blair, PA
Behavioral health is a labor-intensive field, and employee benefits represent one of our most significant cost centers and one of our most important tools for recruiting and retaining clinical staff. Throughout our engagement, Kathy… helped us implement innovative plan designs, contain costs in a difficult market, and maintain a benefits offering competitive enough to support our workforce needs across multiple locations.

Frequently asked questions about our insurance coverage.
A growing business also has growing risks and other insurance needs. A larger team might require a different approach to employee benefits, including ADA compliance. And new revenue streams might require additional coverage for other properties and liabilities. We can help you confidently manage your growth. Learn more
To keep up with other employers competing for the same talent, it’s important to offer the right benefits — including voluntary benefits that address their health, financial and lifestyle needs. We can help you build a competitive plan for your specific labor market. Learn more
Yes, families are advised to consider the extra liability coverage of a personal umbrella policy, which covers potential settlement costs for injuries or property damage when your home and auto insurance limits are reached. This is especially important if you have a new driver, or a risk at home like a swimming pool or large dog. Learn more
Every business is different. For owners like you, your business represents decades of work and a significant portion of your personal wealth. We will take the time to understand your unique business insurance needs and provide the right insurance and risk-management strategy to help protect your team, your property, your customers and your future. Learn more
It’s important to review your insurance plan annually with an agent you trust, to identify any coverage gaps or even unnecessary coverage. This is especially important if there has been a big change in your life, like major renovation, a new driver (or vehicle) or even if you’ve inherited a valuable collection of jewelry or art. We can help you get the right coverage. Learn more
