In their continued efforts to build on the ongoing works and legacy of Third District Representative, Hon Julian Fraser RA, Ms. Kishma P. Forbes of Virgin Islands School and Office Supplies and Mr. Julian Willock, former Speaker of the House of Assembly will host a Third District Senior Citizen Health Social.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 10, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on the grounds of Therapy Works located at Hannah Bay, Tortola for residents 60 years of age and over.
At the Third District Senior Citizen Health Social, there will be doctors and nurses on hand from the BVI Health Services Authority to provide information to seniors on living healthy at their age, testing of blood pressure, blood sugar and weight, and other general medical quick wins.
Partnership with BVI Health Services Authority
Mr. Willock noted that he thanks the BVI Health Services Authority for partnering with Ms. Forbes and himself, “as we keep District Three healthy and value our golden gems.”
There will also be music and food, and ground transportation will be provided both to pick up and drop off seniors from their homes for those who require this service.
There have been many concerns raised about the health of residents and the many health-related challenges seniors continue to face.
Mr. Willock noted that the event is also sponsored by Nagico Insurance, BVI Ports Authority, Delta Petroleum, Caribbean Insurers, BCQS, Nanny Cay Resort and Marina, and Therapy Works.
If seniors from District Three require ground transportation, they can call Ms. Forbes at 441-6519 or Mr. Willock at 541-1119.
Both Mr. Willock and Ms. Forbes have been doing many activities over the past year in District Three including a job fair, donations to the Ebenezer Thomas Primary and, St. George’s Secondary Schools, a food pantry, and their annual back-to-school giveaways.
