Guardian Life of The Caribbean Limited recently joined forces with Bayview Urgent Care’s Diagnostic Radiology department to launch a dedicated breast cancer screening initiative, exclusively for Guardian Life policyholders. This strategic collaboration represents a bold and timely step in advancing the company’s commitment to client well-being and the delivery of value-added healthcare services.

Breast cancer remains one of the most pressing health concerns in Barbados, currently recognised as the leading cause of mortality among women. In response, Guardian Life’s latest initiative underscores the urgent need for increased awareness and early intervention—two vital components in the fight against this disease. Through this partnership, Guardian Life clients have access to Bayview’s new state-of-the-art 3D mammography machine—a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that enhances early detection and redefines the screening experience with improved accuracy and comfort.

The screening drive precedes Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encourages policyholders to prioritise their health by taking advantage of preventative screenings. Emphasising this message, Mr. Dwayne Mohammed, Vice President of Employee Benefits and Administration at Guardian Life, noted: “Protecting lives goes beyond policies. This initiative reflects our preventive care strategy, ensuring our valued clients have convenient and timely access to essential healthcare services. Working closely with our broker partners and agents, we’ve issued a clarion call for both group and individual clients to take charge of their health and make full use of their annual preventative care benefits. Our goal is simple: to make early detection accessible, effortless, and worry-free.”

The launch event saw Guardian Life’s team of Account Executives welcoming and engaging clients, while also applauding their courage and commitment to health. The atmosphere was one of empowerment, as clients were recognised for demonstrating strength, fearlessness and their proactive decision to embrace the power of prevention.

The breast screening drive is currently ongoing at Bayview Urgent Care, and Guardian Life, along with its partners, remain steadfast in the mission to support holistic well-being and to reinforce the promise of life protection through meaningful health interventions.
