Recognizing the fact that the game of golf is one with many physical and mental health benefits, Golf Manitoba has extended its partnership with Manitoba Blue Cross as their Official Health & Wellness Partner for three more years. This further reinforces the goal of both organizations to support golfers and their well-being on and off the links.
“We are incredibly grateful to Manitoba Blue Cross for their ongoing support of amateur golf in our region,” said Golf Manitoba Executive Director Jared Ladobruk. “As a not-for-profit organization, Manitoba Blue Cross is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of Manitobans with industry-leading health care programs and solutions for its members. This partnership perfectly aligns with the physical, social, mental and emotional benefits that playing the sport of golf can provide.”
As part of the partnership, Golf Manitoba members receive a 10 per cent discount on travel health coverage from Manitoba Blue Cross. This benefit extends to eligible family members traveling with the member, ensuring comprehensive health protection when away from home.
“We have built a strong foundation with Golf Manitoba in supporting the well-being of golfers across Manitoba, both at home and while away,” said Manitoba Blue Cross President and CEO Benjamin Graham. “With every swing, we are facilitating golfers of all ages to prioritize their physical and mental health, while contributing to a healthier, happier community across the province.”
Manitoba Blue Cross will also continue to have a presence at select Golf Manitoba events and championships, and will offer health tips and strategies that support golfers in many ways, from their golf game to their overall health and wellness.
