Social & Health Insurances SZV sponsored the “Walk to Prevent Immobility” walk-a-thon hosted by Sint Maarten Police Pensioners and Retirees Association (SPFPRA). As the national health insurance of Sint Maarten, SZV’s collaboration with the association is in line with its objectives of leading the way for the community in making better health
choices. There were over 200 community members that took part in the walk, with the youngest being
seven years old.
The walk took place on Saturday, May 7th and started at 5 am with an approximate distance of 7km. The
health-conscious participants received an SZV filled goodie bag, a complimentary event t-shirt and a light
breakfast. Mr. Edward Jacobs, President of the SPFPRA, stated, “The association is thankful for the
sponsorship and the assistance provided by SZV to facilitate this event. We aim to see more pensioners
and citizens become more active and live healthier lifestyles.”
Mr. Glen Carty, Director of SZV, stated, “The walk-a-thon was refreshing. It was wonderful to see the
turnout from the community for this event. SZV wants to engage in more wellness initiatives and looks
forward to finding budget-friendly ways to get more organizations to collaborate and create more ways to
help citizens switch to healthier life choices.”
The board of SPFPRA and management of SZV would like to thank all the participants, volunteers,
supporters, and other donors who contributed to this event. Proceeds from the event will be going
towards SPFPRA membership activities throughout the year.
