For the past 17 years, Atlantic Medical has committed to the cause of giving back to the community through its annual "Fun, Run, Walk" which was held recently and was once again a major success. Over the years, this event has helped Atlantic Medical make significant financial contributions to the Cancer Society of The Bahamas and the Diabetic Association. Its donation of over $40,000 this year brings its 17-year contribution to $417,000.

Executive Vice President and General Manager of Atlantic Medical, Lynda Gibson is delighted to once again support these two major medical causes. "It's really a milestone. The Bahamian community has come together they have supported this walk for us which is very good." Business Development Manager Darren Bastian has been in charge of the walk from its inception.

He expressed how pleased he is with the success they have achieved through the efforts of a committed team. "What you see here is really the combination of a lot of work from members and staff of Atlantic Medical. A lot of people that you don't see contribute in making this walk a success."

Freeport Branch Account Executive and Office Manager Lisa Turnquest shared the overwhelming support from Grand Bahamians. "In Grand Bahama in particular we're exceptionally pleased to host this fun walk annually because many Grand Bahamians benefit from the National Associations of these diseases". She highlighted the great support they receive from the public every year. President of the Diabetic Association, Eugene A. Thurston joined the President of the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, Laverne Wildgoose in expressing gratitude to the company.

"On behalf of all of us at the Cancer Society we would like to say a special thank you to Atlantic Medical Staff. We are much appreciative," Wildgoose said. "Meantime Thurston described Atlantic Medical as "a dream that we've always needed. They've always been the golden partners from day one."

Atlantic Medical is the largest specialist provider of group health insurance and employee benefits in The Bahamas. The company's objective is to encourage not only their clients but all Bahamians to live healthy lifestyles and enjoy it.
