BRADES, Montserrat, January 29th, 2013 – In its continued drive to help Montserrat get fit, the Ministry of Health & Social Services will be launching Lunch ‘N Learn sessions for government employees next week.
Wayne Hunte, Health Promotions Coordinator for the ministry said the goal is to help civil servants make healthy lifestyle choices.
“We want our colleagues to come out with their brown bag lunches and get more information on various health issues and what we can do to prevent and manage them,” Hunte explained. “These sessions are one of the educational components of the Workplace Wellness Programme which is scheduled to be launched on Labour Day 2013.”
The inaugural Lunch ‘N’ Learn session for the staff of Government Headquarters coincides with World Cancer Day on 4th February and will be hosted at the Police Training Center in Brades from 12:00 Noon.
The Deputy Governor Alric Taylor and Minister Colin Riley are expected to participate in the launching of this event. Dr Ingrid Buffonge will facilitate an informative presentation on Colon Cancer. Everyone is encouraged to grab their lunch and come learn. Healthy drinks will be provided.
