Grand Turk, May 30, 2019 – Turks and Caicos – The
Emergency Department doctors and nurses at Cockburn Town Medical Centre
combined their personal funds to purchase several items for two schools on
Grand Turk. In an effort to show the departments’ philanthropic values and
support the community beyond emergency care, two professional all-purpose first
aid kits along with much needed appliances were donated.
The first aid kits were
designated for the Industrial Arts and Home Economic areas where students are
more at risk of sustaining injuries such a burns, cuts etc., during activities
at the HJ Robinson High School. The institution also needed a microwave, which
was also donated.
During a presentation on
Monday, May 27th, 2019 inside the department waiting area, the items were
handed over to Patrick Jarrett, Teacher of Visual Arts and Acting HOD for
Industrial Arts and Eudelsie Swimmer, Head of Home Economics at the high
school. Clinicians also pledged to provide training on basic first aid, should
the need arises.
The second beneficiary was the New Testament Pre-School. The brand new compact refrigerator was accepted by Principal Kelma Hamilton. The school is in the process of reconstructing their main building, which was damaged during hurricane Irma.
