Beaches Turks & Caicos Celebrates Nurse Manager Eleanor Brooks-Clare: A Legacy of Compassion and Commitment  

July 24, 2025

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands: Beaches Turks and Caicos is proud to spotlight the remarkable service and lifelong dedication of Eleanor Elaine Brooks-Clare, Nurse Manager at the resort’s on-site medical centre.  A cherished member of the Beaches family since August 1, 1997, Nurse Brooks-Clare continues to exemplify the core values of “service above self.”

With over 25 years of dedicated service, Nurse Brooks-Clare has become a trusted caregiver to guests and team members alike.  She delivers not only exceptional healthcare but also compassionate leadership.  Her story is one of resilience, advocacy and service, both within the hospitality industry and the wider Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) community.

“Nurse Brooks-Clare is a fan favourite and a cornerstone of our resort team,” said James McAnally, managing director at Beaches Turks and Caicos.  “Her warmth, clinical expertise and calm presence have made her a leader, a mentor and a source of reassurance to thousands over the years. We are honoured to have her as part of the Beaches family.”

A certified family nurse practitioner and midwife, Nurse Brooks-Clare began her medical training in 1978 at the University Hospital of the West Indies, advancing through specialisations in midwifery and family medicine.  Her professional journey has touched many—from delivering babies on her home island of South Caicos to mentoring team members and advocating for national health initiatives.

Among her most impactful contributions was her successful petition for the national helmet law following the tragic loss of her son, Sasha, in a motorbike accident in 2006.  The law, passed just two months later, has since saved countless lives.  In recognition of her advocacy and healthcare service, she received the Patriotic Award – Cayos Medal in 2016 by the TCI Government.

Nurse Brooks-Clare co-founded the TCI Diabetic Association, spearheading efforts to improve diabetic care by coordinating regular visits from specialist podiatrists.

Even those she once delivered as new-borns now serve alongside her.  Lashiko Seymour, senior manager on duty at Beaches Turks and Caicos, shared, “Nurse Clare is not only a nurse—she’s a life coach and mentor.  Her poise in emergencies and nurturing nature create a safe and supportive space for everyone she encounters.”

Nurse Brooks-Clare credits much of her strength and service ethic to her upbringing and strong family support.  “My husband has been my rock.  My parents taught me to live selflessly and my extended family and colleagues inspire me daily.”  She also speaks fondly of mentors such as Dr Sam Slattery of Grace Bay Medical and Jeremy Jones, former general manager at Beaches Turks and Caicos resort.

Perhaps one of the most touching aspects of her story is her ongoing connection with organ donation advocacy.  “Though I lost my son, Sasha, I found meaning in knowing his heart lives on in someone else,” she said, referencing one of the recipients of Sasha’s organs.  Her involvement with Life Alliance at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida continues this legacy of healing and hope.

As Beaches Turks and Caicos continues to deliver world-class hospitality, it proudly honours the individuals behind the scenes—like Eleanor Brooks-Clare—whose service and heart remind us all what it means to truly care.
