The Healthier Nation Initiative (HNI), in collaboration with Ross University, brought free blood pressure and health screenings to teachers and staff at Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School, highlighting the importance of caring for the people responsible for educating Barbados’ future generations.

The health outreach took place at the St Joseph campus and focused primarily on faculty members, who HNI representatives said often put the needs of students ahead of their own wellbeing.

Representative of HNI Foundation Akealii Hall said while much attention is placed on students, educators also need support.
