Kingsbridge Private Hospital is delighted to reveal that Slaughtneil is one of nine GAA clubs selected to welcome the Kingsbridge GAA Health Check Roadshow in 2026.

Chosen from hundreds of entries across Ulster, the successful clubs will receive a visit between April and July 2026, bringing free on-site health and wellbeing screenings directly to local communities and offering fast, expert access to services usually found within hospital settings.

Designed for every age group, from underage members to long-standing supporters, the Roadshow aims to make high-quality healthcare accessible at grassroots level. Each club visit will be tailored to meet the health needs of its members and families, strengthening community wellbeing and promoting long-term healthy habits.

The winning clubs on the tour are;  Patrick Sarsfields, Antrim; Maghery Sean McDermotts, Armagh;  Killygarry GAA Club, Cavan;  Slaughtneil GAC, Derry;  Red Hugh’s Killygordon, Donegal;  Kilcoo, Down;  Devenish St Mary’s, Fermanagh; Carrickmacross Emmets GAC, Monaghan and St Mary’s Killyclogher in Tyrone.

Claire Winter, Head of Marketing at Kingsbridge Private Hospital said: “We are delighted to announce the winning clubs of our Health Hub competition. Our commitment is to bring 5-star healthcare directly to local communities, supporting players, volunteers, families, and supporters alike. We’re looking forward to visiting each of the winning clubs in 2026 and delivering services that genuinely support the wellbeing of local communities.”

Mark Regan, CEO at Kingsbridge Private Hospital said: “Behind the players in every club are countless volunteers. They are the heart of what it means to be a club and embody the spirit of the GAA ethos. They do so much for the benefit of our local communities, and this is our way of Kingsbridge thanking them and giving something back.  That’s why we are proud to bring our Health Check Roadshow to GAA clubs across Ulster, because caring for our communities doesn’t stop at the gate, it starts there.”

Launched in October 2025, the Kingsbridge GAA Health Check Roadshow is a new initiative aimed at supporting grassroots GAA communities across all nine Ulster counties. Roadshows will run from early 2026 through summer 2026, with dates agreed in partnership with each club.
