The Health Services Authority has come on as a silver sponsor for the Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual gala for the next five years.
This significant and ongoing commitment reinforces the strong, united front in the fight against breast cancer and reflects a shared mission to support awareness, early detection, treatment and survivorship within the Cayman community.
The HSA’s long-standing dedication to improving healthcare outcomes across the Islands makes this partnership a natural and deeply meaningful collaboration. The Breast Cancer Foundation and HSA have worked cohesively for years, particularly through support for screening programmes, patient care and survivor wellness. This five-year sponsorship will allow the foundation to expand its vital work in education, early detection and support services.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome HSA as a long-term Silver Sponsor,” said Beverly Edgington of the Breast Cancer Foundation. “Their continued support helps us provide life-saving programs and reach more people across the Cayman Islands. Together, we are stronger and more effective in our shared goal of reducing the impact of breast cancer in our community.”
Dr. Delroy Jefferson, HSA acting chief executive officer and medical director, echoed the importance of this partnership, saying: “At HSA, we believe in a holistic approach to health, and supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation aligns perfectly with our values. This sponsorship reflects our commitment not just to treatment, but to prevention, awareness, and survivorship.”
Dr. Lundie Richards, HSA consultant haematologist-oncologist, added: “The Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting patients both emotionally and practically. Our collaboration ensures that our patients receive the comprehensive care they need – from diagnosis through recovery and beyond.”
The annual gala serves as a major fundraiser for the foundation, enabling it to run essential services like the early detection programme; awareness and wellness initiatives; ‘Stepping Strong’ programme, which is designed to help breast cancer patients rebuild, emotionally, physically and mentally; and survivorship support.
