At JFL, we are incredibly grateful for the members of our community who continue to show up in support of our hospital, our dedicated staff, and, most importantly, the patients and families we serve.

This Thankful Tuesday, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the St. Lucia Association of St. Croix for its generous donation to JFL’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The Association donated items, including water, diapers, syringes, hats, blankets, and other supplies to support our NICU team and the precious little ones in their care.

This presentation was especially meaningful as Ms. Paulina Henry, a leader of the St. Lucia Association of St. Croix, is a former JFL NICU nurse. During her time at JFL, she was fondly remembered for her dedication to our newborns and her skillful techniques in assisting babies with feeding. Her return to the NICU—this time giving back through the St. Lucia Association of St. Croix—made the occasion a beautiful full-circle moment.

To the St. Lucia Association of St. Croix, thank you for remembering JFL and for continuing to care for our community. Your generosity is a wonderful reminder that supporting healthcare is truly a community effort.

We are #JFLStrong because of people like you. 💙💛
