SMMC Screens Record 500+ Men at Annual Men's Health Day

The St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) conducted health screenings for more than 500 men on Saturday, October 3, 2026, marking a record turnout for its Annual Men's Health Day event held in Cay Hill, St. Maarten. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to address preventive healthcare among men on the island, a demographic that statistically tends to seek medical care less frequently than women. Screenings at such events typically include checks for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, prostate health, and other common conditions affecting adult men. The record-breaking attendance signals growing community awareness and engagement around men's health issues in St. Maarten. SMMC's annual event serves as a key outreach tool to encourage early detection and healthier lifestyle choices among the male population. The milestone turnout underscores the importance of accessible, community-based healthcare programs in the Caribbean region.
