Jamaican roots inspire Lauderhill leaders to support Bellevue Hospital

A new relationship between Bellevue Hospital and the City of Lauderhill, Florida, is taking shape following a donation of recreational activity items and art and craft supplies from Lauderhill Mayor Denise Grant and Vice-Mayor Richard Campbell.

The donation was a collaborative effort by Grant and Campbell — whose shared Jamaican roots and commitment to giving back inspired them to provide tangible support after learning more about Bellevue Hospital, its patients, and the work of the institution.

Community outreach coordinator for the City of Lauderhill Comala Remogene, visited Bellevue Hospital on Tuesday to formally hand over the donated items on behalf of Grant and Campbell, who joined the presentation virtually.
