“We are excited for this event, because our annual Health Fair became a staple event post-Irma, but due to COVID we were unable to host it,” explained Lisa Brown; Marketing Manager of NAGICO Insurances. “This year, we decided to bring back our Health Fair, but to do it even bigger and better, by joining forces with the Department of Youth & Culture to make it a spectacular local showcase.”
“We are encouraging everyone to come out, dress comfortably to participate and have fun experiencing the array of activities we have planned with you in mind and lots of amazing prizes to be won,” said Brown.
