BHB Donates Medical Supplies To Jamaica Bermuda Hospitals Board [BHB] has donated medical supplies to help equip Black River Hospital in St Elizabeth, Jamaica following the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa. A spokesperson said, “This week, Bermuda Hospitals Board was pleased to donate medical supplies to help equip Black River Hospital in St Elizabeth, Jamaica, which was devastated by Hurricane Melissa. BHB sent some of the items the hospital needed most, including sterile single-use needles, gloves, masks, surgical gowns, and coveralls. “At least 200 BHB staff have direct links to Jamaica, so this hurricane, while further afield, impacted our hospital family. After losing the Continuing Care Unit during Hurricane Gonzalo in 2014, BHB can sympathize with the Black River Hospital staff, who are working hard to deliver care to their community despite the hardships they are facing.” “BHB CEO & President Scott Pearman, Chief of Nursing & Allied Health Judy Richardson, Chief of Staff Dr Anna Neilson-Williams, and Chief Operating Officer Preston Swan are pictured with the nine pallets of supplies, alongside Jamaican BHB staff members Dr Shari Plummer and Clinical Manager Christine Bogle-Mienzer, and Jamaican Association members Shurnette Caines and Joan Richardson.”
