FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — A $30,000 cheque donation by Scotiabank Bahamas Limited was made on Friday to the Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport where major renovations are underway to restore the public health facility which sustained severe hurricane damage, The Tribune reported on Friday, February 19, in an article written by Denise Maycock.
Roger Archer, managing director, said the institution wanted to contribute to the restoration efforts of the hospital, particularly to help purchase much-needed equipment for the Paediatric Unit.
“We know it is really a difficult time over the last two years between Hurricane Dorian and COVID; the hospital has been doing excellent work and we want to continue to contribute to the efforts of the hospital,” Archer said. “We want to ensure the hospital is in the position to help the community overcome COVID, and so this $30,000 will help with the purchase of a ventilator, oxygen monitor machine, and also two paediatric wheelchairs.”
Hospital Administrator Sharon Williams thanked Scotiabank for its tremendous support.
“It has been a year since the devastation of Hurricane Dorian, and we are well on the way to recovery as you can see the facilities are much further in the restoration process,” Williams said. “It is through the support of the Bahamas Government and partnerships with companies and organizations like yourself that we are able to provide more effective care for the community of Grand Bahama.” See complete Tribune story at http://www.tribune242.com/news/2021/feb/19/scotiabank-donates-30000-rand-memorial-hospital/
