Take care of revamped A&E at CRH, MoBay mayor urges residents

Montego Bay Mayor Richard Vernon is urging the western city's residents, especially those who work at the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH), to treat the Type A hospital's redeveloped Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) with care and respect.

Addressing the department's official reopening today, Vernon noted that while the redevelopment project has been subjected to controversy since its closure in 2016, the end result has been worth the decade-long wait.

“This upgraded department demonstrates that the patience and investment required have delivered a result worthy of the effort. We are delivering an advanced clinical hub that elevates emergency healthcare for our residents who are supporting our vital economic and tourism sectors, and we do this while always recognising that a world-class destination is only as strong as the care and security it guarantees to the local citizens who call it home,” said Vernon.
