The Credit Union partnered with the North East Regional Health Authority to provide a range of tests for blood pressure, diabetes, body mass index (BMI) at all its branches in the three parishes. Apart from the health fairs, First Regional marked Credit Union Week with Customer Appreciation Days, and opportunities to members who are in business to hold displays in various branches.
