Tina Evans Caines returns to join Heart Foundation as community development officer

Tina Evans Caines

'Lady T', a once popular radio personality on the Island, has returned home after years abroad, to work for a charity.

Tina Evans Caines is the daughter of the late Dame Lois Browne Evans. She has joined the Bermuda Heart Foundation as its community development manager. Her role is to help the charity in its goal of introducing an intervention centre for heart disease sufferers.

Mrs. Evans Caines was a popular radio host in the 1990s before becoming a public affairs officer for the Department of Communication and Information. In that role she worked directly with the Department of Health and the Ministry of Education.

Most recently she worked as a community relations coordinator for one of the leading US organ and tissue procurement organisations in Philadelphia. As part of that she developed campaigns and programmes to educate and raise awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation.

Under her leadership, the Coalition on Donation African American Campaign Committee worked through partnerships with national organisations such as the National Medical Association (NMA), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), The Links, and the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

In 2006, she was elected President of the American Society of Multicultural Health and Transplant Professionals.
