WE ARE A NONPROFIT TEAM
The Foundation came to fruition thanks to the shared initiatives of The Lions Club of Barbados South, through its Health and Social Services Committee, then under the chairmanship of Mr. H. (Dru) Symmonds SCM, J.P., and Professor Trevor Hassell, Cardiologist, who was that time Head of the Department of Medicine and of the Cardiac Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados.
Our motto “Everybody has a heart” speaks to the fact that all of us as individuals should be committed to living healthy lifestyles.
