Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre

What Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre does

Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre (BCHC) is a nonprofit medical centre founded in 1945 and headquartered at 46 Point Finger Road, Paget, Bermuda. It operates as the island's only independent, community-focused cancer care provider, delivering a comprehensive continuum that spans prevention and early detection (SunSmart and LungSmart programmes, cancer screening guidelines, Cancer Conversations workplace wellness), diagnostic imaging (mammography with dual CAR-MAP accreditation, ultrasound, breast biopsy, bone densitometry, contrast-enhanced mammography), cancer genetics and risk assessment (a 20+ year longitudinal hereditary cancer programme covering 90+ genes), oncology and radiation therapy (Bermuda's first local radiation therapy service, launched in 2017), and patient navigation. The Equal Access Fund subsidises mammography, ultrasound, biopsy, and radiation therapy with no co-pay for eligible patients regardless of insurance status, having underwritten $2.245M of clinical services for 2,589 people in 2025; 11,250+ patients used Centre services that year.

BCHC is also Bermuda's first international centre to achieve American College of Radiology Oncology (ACRO) accreditation and operates clinical alliances with Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center for radiation therapy protocols and peer review, and with Dr Kevin Hughes on the cancer genetics programme. Its technology stack centres on accredited clinical equipment and longitudinal hereditary cancer data (500+ individuals tested since 2006, 99 pathogenic variants across 17 genes), with no disclosed AI/ML capability.

The Centre's revenue mix combines donations and fundraising (including event-driven income from Relay For Life, MOvember Bermuda, AXA XL Man on the Run 5K, and the Allshores Walk) — totalling $1.6M raised in 2025 with 3,352 donors — alongside clinical services revenue from diagnostic and treatment services, corporate sponsorships and matching gifts, and boutique retail sales. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-patient at the single Paget facility, supplemented by online donation platforms and event-based fundraising channels. Customer segments are horizontal, spanning the general Bermuda public, uninsured/underinsured residents, men targeted through MOvember and the 5K, donors and fundraisers, Bermuda employers, youth via the SunSmart programme, and cancer survivors and caregivers. Headcount is 11-50 employees, and the Centre has no subsidiaries, parent company, or M&A activity.
