Darien Man Named Senior Vice President of National Company

Darien resident Matt McCann, a 15 year veteran in the Long Term Care Industry has accepted the position of Senior Vice President with LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), one of America’s largest and most experienced Long Term Care protection agencies.

Matt McCann’s mom was 59 when she cut herself, a seemingly minor accident. The wound developed a staph infection that led to a long hospital stay with complications; and then, suddenly, she found herself needing “long-term care” or help with the tasks of daily living, services not covered by regular health insurance.

This abrupt, unexpected emergency struck home. His family was totally unprepared, mentally, for an LTC crisis, and reflected that most others were too. This realization, back in 1998, motivated McCann to leave radio broadcasting for the Long Term Care protection field, where he has made life better for thousands, like his mom, by providing LTC education and planning.

“I am very pleased joining the country’s leading insurance agency specializing in Long Term Health Care solutions. Most people need a plan for the physical, emotional and financial burdens Long Term Care places on loved ones. Affordable Long Term Care Insurance is one of the primary, but not only possible solutions,” McCann said.

He points out that almost 70 percent of Americans turning age 65 will need Long Term Health Care at some point in their lives, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and that all of America’s 77 million Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) will have turned 65 by 2029.

In his new position, McCann will be responsible for sales, service, and educational outreach for the Eastern half of the U.S., supporting the efforts of regional sales managers, local agents, and solution specialists. He will remain in his Darien office.

“We are delighted that Matt has chosen us for his next career move,” says Denise Gott, LTCFP’s Executive Vice President. “He has a real knack for connecting with people. That’s why he’s been so successful. And he knows how to pass that knowledge on to others. Managers and agents really relate to him, because he sets them up for success.”

From November, 1998, through April of 1998 McCann was a Long Term Care specialist, helping consumers directly plan for Long Term Health Care Solutions. As a top agent for a number of years he became well known nationally for his expertise.

Then in April of 2008 through December 2013 he served as Regional Sales Director, Divisional Sales Leader/Western Division, and then as Director of Business Development for ACSIA Long-Term Care, one of the nation’s leading LTC career organizations.

Previously, for 27 years he served as program director of air talent for over a dozen leading radio stations including stations in Chicago. McCann worked at WLS AM/FM, WUSN, WUBT and others. He may be best known as working as legendary Chicago radio personality Larry LuJack’s sidekick when LuJack returned from a long retirement with a show on then oldies station WUBT.

He is a 1978 graduate of Hinsdale South High School. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and has done post-graduate work at Benedictine University in Lisle.
