The countdown begins for one of the most important conferences of the
year, the 5th annual Cayman Islands Healthcare Conference, held at The
Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman from 20th to 22nd November 2014. Tenet
Healthcare, a supporter of the conference since its inception, is again
lending its invaluable support to this year’s event as the Premium Plus
and lunch Sponsor.
This year’s conference theme Winning the War Against Chronic
Non-Communicable Diseases creates excellent opportunities for local and
international speakers to share their knowledge about chronic
non-communicable diseases, the effects they have on individuals and the
community, and how to both prevent and treat them.
Tenet Healthcare offers one of the largest healthcare networks in
Florida, and continues to demonstrate its shared goals of providing
access to healthcare-related education opportunities, as well as sharing
information with regard to the most current treatment options for
patients.
Tenet Healthcare, in addition to being the top sponsor of the event,
will have two top healthcare professionals presenting to discuss their
chosen topics, as they relate to this year’s theme. Robert Cywes, M.D.,
Ph.D., who specialises in Paediatric Surgery & Adolescent Bariatric
Surgery, will discuss ‘Obesity: Facts vs Fiction’, while Edward
Anim-Addo, M.D., Internal Medicine and Chief Medical Officer, will speak
on the subject of ‘Global Trends in Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome,
Obesity and Correlates. Is there an existential threat?’
Mr Craig Bloom, Chief Business Development Officer for Tenet
Healthcare’s Florida region, said it is a privilege and honour for Tenet
Healthcare to once again be the leading sponsor of the Cayman Islands
Healthcare Conference.
“In an effort to ensure that high quality healthcare is available to
all, we believe that events such as this are vital as they allow leaders
in the healthcare arena to share advancements in their respective
fields”, Mr Bloom said. “This sets the stage for further collaboration
and our hope is that it will ultimately lead to a healthier community”.
Tenet’s Florida hospitals are a family of ten comprehensive, acute care
hospitals operated by compassionate and highly trained healthcare
professionals, offering world-class healthcare and specialised centres
of excellence. With 5,000 of the area’s most respected physicians and
more than 250 awards, Tenet is committed to providing the highest
quality care and service to every patient and family.
Hon. Osbourne Bodden, Minister of Health, Sports, Youth & Culture said
he is looking forward to this year’s conference and thankful to Tenet
Healthcare. “Tenet has supported our conference since the beginning and
we thank them for their continued commitment”, Minister Bodden said.
“It is because of sponsors such as Tenet that make this conference
possible year after year allowing us to offer registration free to all
delegates with minimal costs to the ministry”.
