Latter-day Saints make big donation to Black River Hospital

BLACK RIVER, St Elizabeth — As Black River Hospital prepares to reopen its wards in the coming weeks the facility’s resources have been improved following a donation of $60 million worth of equipment by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The donated supplies include neonatal and maternal equipment which were handed over to the hospital last Friday.

Director at the Southern Regional Health (SRHA) Authority Michael Bent, in expressing gratitude for the donation, said health-care workers will now have more tools to work effectively in patient care.
