GHTA partners with Spice Isle Imaging Centre for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association (GHTA), through its Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), has joined forces with Spice Isle Imaging Centre to offer free mammograms to women aged 40 and above. This initiative underscores the TEF’s dedication to community reinvestment and the promotion of health and well-being among Grenadians. Breast cancer remains a prevalent global and local health concern for women. However, early detection through regular screenings, particularly mammograms, significantly enhances treatment success rates. Mammograms are the most effective method for identifying breast cancer in its initial stages, often before symptoms manifest. GHTA CEO Arlene Friday emphasized, ‘Early detection saves lives, and access to screening is crucial. By leveraging the Tourism Enhancement Fund, we can eliminate financial obstacles and provide women with access to this vital health service.’ Women interested in participating must register in advance by calling 444-1353 or emailing [email protected]. Appointments will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited availability. This program is part of a broader series of community-focused initiatives supported by the GHTA Tourism Enhancement Fund, which reinvests contributions from the hospitality sector into projects that benefit Grenada socially, culturally, and economically.
