DOCTORS HOSPITAL MAKES DONATION TOWARD NEW BUILDING

Diabetic Association Makes Plans for New Building

Corporate partner, Doctors Hospital has had a long relationship with the Bahamas Diabetic Association. Sharing the same goal, which is to assist diabetics in the Bahamas with diagnosing, educating, treating and managing their disease, the Hospital recently made a donation to the Association to help to bring to reality the dream of their own building. The new building will serve as a permanent place for meetings and convalescence for Family Island Diabetics so that they have a place of refuge when they have to travel to Nassau. Their vision is to have a place where diabetics can receive further education and assistance to help control their Diabetes, thus preventing many of the devastating complications associated with diabetes.

"We take great pride in being a leader in healthcare services in the Bahamas, and we know of the challenges of Diabetics and those that the Diabetic Association faces each day. We believe our investment in this crucial project will help to deliver care to even more new families throughout New Providence and the Family Islands" stated Michele Rassin, Vice President of Operations, Doctors Hospital.

The Bahamas Diabetic Association is now in the process of planning several fundraisers in order to see their goals realized including a Banquet to be held November 10, 2007 at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa. Organizations and the general public can lend their support to this worthy cause by purchasing tickets to attend the ball or by making donations directly to the Diabetic Association. To find out how you can help support the "New Building" campaign, please call The Bahamas Diabetic Association at (242) 356-2349 or (242) 325-2167.
