A recent donation will help a health charity continue to provide free screenings throughout the island.

A statement said Allshores is providing $270,000 to the DailyMale over three years.

The donation will support outreach by DailyMale and other health organisations to “improve access to preventive screening and health-related activities across Bermuda”.

Abigail Clifford, Allshores group president and chief executive, said: “Partnering with the DailyMale charity over three years allows us to bring essential health services to people who might otherwise go without.”

She added: “We are committed to supporting both DailyMale’s impact today and its vision to extend that reach even further through other health organisations.”

Peter Lozier, executive vice-president group head of benefits, said: “Making it easier for people to access the care and tests that are covered by their premium is important to us.”

He called it “a critical way we can help put the brakes on healthcare premium increases, which means money saved for individuals and businesses”.

Jonathan Makanjuola, founder of DailyMale, said: “This three years of funding is great news for the DailyMale and our community screening programme.

“Even more, I am really happy to see that the van is being used to give easier access to healthcare testing for people and improving the health of the community.

“Our van is a fantastic resource and this partnership is a great example of how we can use it to improve health outcomes for our families and community.”

Shakira Warner, Allshores head of population health, said: “We are committed to helping our clients not only have access to these critical tests but, importantly, getting them connected to care resources through our local care support service.

“Hypertension can be discovered before it turns into a stroke, diabetes can be identified before your eyesight or kidneys are damaged, cardiac issues may be found before you have a heart attack.

“Yet we know that in some industries, long hours, access challenges or even the cost of a copay create real barriers for people in terms of getting their age-appropriate screenings.

“The mobile screening van can help remove some of these barriers, for both men and women.”

Allshores will provide prostate checks, biometrics and various other screenings at several local businesses.
