BRAAS HEALTH
What is BRAAS HEALTH?
BRAAS health is a collection of BRAAS members that are in health care and wellness who have graciously and willingly stepped up to offer any assistance/expertise in their respected fields. These men have agreed to be listed on our website under our BRAAS Health directory, to offer any of their BRAAS brothers advice/assistance if they have a medical issue or question.
The guys on this directory are on it because they want you to call on them. If they can be of assistance to you or your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
More than a directory we are looking forward to setting up medical screenings, access to information and coordinating future blood drives.
Why BRAAS HEALTH?
Because we have a resource in our membership within the healthcare community that should be accessible to all BRAAS brothers and their families. You don’t have to know any of the guys on the directory to reach out to them, they still want to help.
I am truly excited that we are expanding BRAAS in ways to better the lives of its members and that is the main purpose of BRAAS HEALTH.
The Board is grateful for the men that have stepped up to make this possible, even though I didn’t have to convince anyone to do be a part of this, it is greatly appreciated.
**If you should be/want to be part of BRAAS HEALTH please let me know so I can add you**
In Health,
Ryan Evans
BRAAS Health Commissioner (self-given title)
