GOV. JUAN F. LUIS HOSPITAL WELCOMES FIRST BABY OF 2024
ST CROIX -USVI, JANUARY 3, 2024 – On January 1, New Year’s Day 2024, Shenice Santiago and Gabriel St. Kitts welcomed the first baby born in St. Croix.
Baby St. Kitts arrived at approximately 6:42 a.m. on January 1, at Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical Center weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce. He was born to parents Shenice Santiago and Gabriel St. Kitts. Both are beyond excited to welcome their new baby.
Ms. Santiago recalls this moment as a “wish come true” as Baby St. Kitts made his way in the early morning of New Year’s Day without the scheduled labor induction. When asked for a statement regarding her experience giving birth at JFL, Ms. Santiago replied, “The nurses were very supportive and made it really easy with the preparations and breathing techniques.” Mr. Gabriel St. Kitts also shared that the nurses were very attentive to their needs. Both parents are extremely happy for a healthy baby.
Small gifts and donations were presented to the family on behalf of the hospital and other community partners such as Sonya’s, Premier Baby Store, Liquidation Blowout Store, Golden Circle #373, Mrs. Barabara Gene Browne, and Dr. Michelle Berkeley.
JFL PATIENT TRANSFER NOW SET FOR APRIL 22
ST. CROIX, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS– The Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical Center (JFL) announced today that the moving of patients into the new facility has changed to April 22, 2023, from the previously announced target date of March 25, 2023.
During final inspections, all systems in the facility were brought online, re-tested, and checked to ensure that they are functioning properly. This is a mandatory and normal process of any new hospital transition to ensure patient safety. Four issues were discovered in critical systems. One issue is a malfunctioning transformer that powers the Electrical Branch for the facility alarm systems (PBX), a faulty damper in the fire alert system, a programming error in the nurse call system, and a software concern with the CT Scanner. Without these systems operating as designed, JFL is unable to conduct many life safety drills that affect operations.
CEO Douglas Koch emphasized “Our number one priority is patient safety, and we must ensure that as we transition to JFL North. These issues prevent us from allowing patients into this environment. Between vendors’ schedules, parts being shipped, and safety drills conducted, we have made the difficult decision to change our patient move into JFL North. The good news is we have identified solutions for all issues. Parts have been ordered, technicians are being scheduled, and we will quickly be able to clear this final hurdle.”
Koch also went on to thank the staff and team of persons pushing to make this happen. “I am continually amazed by the dedication and commitment of this JHL family and thank them again for everything they do on a daily basis to ensure high-quality care is being delivered to our St. Croix community.”
The patient move is now scheduled for April 22, 2023.
