The Delaware Valley Trusts are risk sharing pools with over 160 public entity members in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

What Makes Us Different

The Delaware Valley Trusts Advantage: Managed Risk. Collective Rewards.

When it comes to selecting health, workers’ compensation, or property and liability insurance, public entities need stability and superior coverage at the lowest responsible cost. At the Delaware Valley Trusts we understand. Our members enjoy stable rates that defy insurance industry trends while taking advantage of comprehensive benefits, cash dividends, rate credits, multi-trust discounts, superior member service, and a wide array of exclusive value-added services.

Let us manage your risk while you realize the rewards.

Testimonials

As a Borough Manager, I am constantly blown away by the response I receive as a member of the Delaware Valley Trusts. The Trust’s value-added programs such as training, legal guidance and loss control resources are more than just benefits – they set the DVT apart from any other liability coverage provider!

“The most positive aspect about becoming a member was access to DVT staff who were very supportive during our transition to DVT initially, and have remained so year after year. DVT offers prompt and professional support at every level of the organization.”

Testimonials

As both an administrator for the Township and a member of the plan itself, I can personally attest to the value added benefits that the Wellness program bring. I’ve learned tips and tricks from all of the webinars I’ve attended, lowered my cholesterol thanks to my biometric screening and received money just by being proactive regarding my health. It’s a complete win for everyone involved and I cannot say enough great things about the program.

Testimonials

The Health and Wellness Team at the Delaware Valley Health Trust is exceptional! The Trust has numerous resources that focus on all aspects of health – physical, mental, preventative, and environmental. The Borough has benefited greatly from wellness programs like annual biometric screenings,  health incentives, and the development of an employee wellness and fitness room in the Borough of Conshohocken Administrative Building. We could not have spearheaded that initiative without access to the resources available to Health Trust Members. For the Borough, having access to these pivotal resources has helped encourage and support a healthier lifestyle for all our employees. More importantly, membership in the Trust has enabled the Borough to take concerted steps towards fully developing an internal culture of health and wellness at our workplace.
