Parish Council Pleased With Care Offered at Black River Hospital

Mayor of Black River, Councillor Jeremy Palmer, has commended the staff of the Black River Hospital for their “humane and prompt” responses to persons who visit the facility for medical care.
“On several occasions I have gone on visits there, unannounced, to deal with relatives and persons who I know who had been admitted there and, I must say that, each time I am overwhelmed by the level of care that they show to patients,” the Mayor told the recent Black River Parish Council meeting.
He called on his fellow Councillors to give support to the facility, in whatever way that they can.
“We need to participate in encouraging these health care workers to continue on the path that they are on. It is the only hospital in the parish, and what I have witnessed there speaks well for state run facilities,” he said.
Councillor for the Siloah Division, Audie Myers, said he too was impressed with the running of the hospital.
“I have seen what the Mayor spoke about at the Black River Hospital and the workers there, I would say, are a special set of persons who are motivated in what they do,” he told the Council.
