Woodside Celebrates Pete Chagnon as a Network Health ACA Rookie of the Year!

Woodside Financial Services LLC is proud to announce that Pete Chagnon, one of its newest brokers, has been named an ACA Rookie of the Year by Network Health after just six months with the firm. This means Pete was a top performer in helping individuals & families find a good fit with a Network Health plan in the marketplace.

Pete joined Woodside in October 2025, bringing with him over two decades of media experience in radio. Almost all that time was spent on the East Coast before relocating to Wisconsin.

After a brief return to radio in the Wausau area, Pete became licensed in life and health insurance and joined the family business. Since then, he has quickly made an impact, driven by a passion for helping individuals and small businesses find health insurance solutions that truly fit their needs.

“I was genuinely surprised and honored to receive this recognition,” said Chagnon. “Having personally experienced the challenges of navigating health insurance for many years and working closely with small businesses owners in Atlanta and now Wisconsin, I understand what people are up against. My goal is to make the process easier and more approachable for every client I serve.”

In addition to earning ACARookie of the Year, Pete also joins the ranks of Elite Producer with Network Health—along with Woodside’s Douglas Arndt and Emily (Arndt) Chagnon. Pete’s addition to Woodside has strengthened the firm’s ability to serve small business owners who are focused on attracting and retaining talent.

Woodside brokers for dozens of health insurance companies and offers hundreds of plans including Medicare plans, individual & family, small business, life, and dental.
