Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre ("BCHC") today announced commitment from BF&M Limited and the Argus Group to supporting BCHC in the provision of radiation therapy locally to Bermuda's residents. The insurers will donate $250,000 each towards the completion of a new building to house Bermuda's first radiation facility, which will offer Bermuda residents the ability to receive treatment currently only available overseas, here on the island. 

Tara Curtis, Executive Director of Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre, said: “Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre truly appreciate the financial support received from BF&M and Argus in helping us to achieve this important Radiation Therapy Initiative.  Over the past ten months, BCHC has worked closely with the Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center, which is ranked 4^th in the USA for cancer care, for the design and construction of the facility and recently BCHC signed a contract for the Truebeam treatment system, the latest technology available for radiation therapy treatment”.
