Lucy McLean, Everton in the Community Health Screening Coordinator, commented,
“Health checks are a quick and easy way for you to keep on top of your health. They are non-invasive and can help detect a problem early, even before you have any symptoms, and are a great way to empower you to make informed decisions about your health. I’d like to place our thanks on record to FIGS for their support in helping us create a healthier Merseyside.”
James Tarkowski, Everton player, said,
“The start of a new year always brings new resolutions and ambitions for the months ahead but looking after your body should be a priority all year round. Everton in the Community and FIGS do fantastic work in the healthcare arena and it’s great to hear that they are helping fans to stay on top of their health with these quick and simple matchday health checks.”
Michelle Gaster Wasserman, FIGS’ General Manager, International, said,
“We are thrilled to extend our support of Everton in the Community. FIGS’ mission is to serve those who serve others, and the work we’re doing with Everton in the Community directly advances that mission. Raising awareness and availability of preventative health, supporting those who provide volunteer health services, and promoting mental health are all great ways to support not only healthcare professionals but the entire community.”
