Janice Cannon
Co-owner and insurance specialist
About Me
“Hi, I’m Janice Cannon, a proud co-owner, alongside my sons, of Cannon Insurance Agency, a dedicated Life and Health Insurance Agency based right here in downtown Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We are proud to partner with HealthMarkets and Anchor Benefit Advisors. I’ve built my business on a foundation of trust, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping individuals and families protect what matters most.”
Why Work With Me?
What Makes Me Different
“What sets me apart is my heart for service and my belief that insurance is not just a transaction — it’s a relationship. I’m not here to sell you something you don’t need. I’m here to educate, empower, and guide you through some of life’s most important decisions. Whether you’re planning for your family’s future or navigating a health challenge, I’m here to help you feel confident and covered. I genuinely enjoy the opportunity to have my clients stop by the office and sit with me, not just to help find the right insurance solutions for their families, but also to share the personal conversations that I have with so many. I want to turn clients into friends.”
My Areas of Expertise
“I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of the individual insurance market. This might mean finding the right plan on the Marketplace, or, like so many of our clients, finding solutions outside the exchange and the Marketplace. Being a Medicare recipient myself, I truly enjoy helping and guiding our clients through understanding Medicare, staying up to date on changes, and ensuring they are on the plan that suits their needs year to year.
“I have been in the insurance business for more than 50 years since graduating from college. This business has allowed me to help thousands of clients over the years. For the past 25 Years, I have been partnered with HealthMarkets and have proudly served my clients in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. I continue to work each day because of the blessing it is to do something you love and to be able to work alongside my two adult sons.
“Family is the most essential part of my life. Being an insurance agent allowed me to support my family when we were younger. It gave me the flexibility to be an active mother in my two sons’ lives as they were growing up, never missing a baseball game or an important milestone as they grew older. As an Independent agent, the flexibility also gave me the time to travel often with my late husband Jim. Road trips with him were always an adventure. I may have started my career more than 50 years ago in Miami, Florida, but for the last 25 plus years, Southern Mississippi has been home.”
