~Community Donations and Volunteerism Positively
Impacting JFL~

On Thursday, the Gov Juan F. Luis Hospital and
Medical Center received a donation of $3,500 from the

Adventist Church. The donation was received during a
check presentation ceremony held at the Virgin Islands
Cardiac Center on St. Croix.

JFL's VP of Clinical Services/Chief Nursing Officer
Justa "Tita" Encarnacion thanked the Church attendees
for their leadership and support. I, on behalf of our CEO,
Dr. Kendall Griffith and the entire hospital staff would like
to thank the Seventh Day Adventist Church for considering
JFL, and in particular the Neonatal Unit as a benefactor in
its efforts to provide valuable services to the community.

Church representatives present on Thursday included
Dr. Henry Peters, Director of Community Services;
Gertrude Roberts, Church Federation Leader; and other
members.

Peters stated, On behalf of the Community Services
Ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, we find joy
in making this donation to the Juan Luis Hospitals
Neonatal Unit. We hope that in the future it will allow for
newborn babies in our community to get the best care
possible.

Roberts gave the $3,500 check to Juan Luis Hospital
on behalf of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. She
stated how much of a pleasure it was for the organization
to make this important donation to JFL.

The donated funds will be used to purchase infant car
seats, baby clothing such as onesies, booties, caps, and
blankets for those in need.

Faye John-Baptiste, JFL's Nurse Manager of Neonatal
Unit was also present for the ceremony and expressed her
appreciation and gratitude for the special donation.

The Juan Luis Hospital is committed to providing
compassionate, quality care for all of its patients and
thanks the Seventh Day Adventist Church for raising these
funds for the benefit of the island's newborn infants. In so
doing, the Church has provided another fine example of
the power of this community to help make a difference.
