Cari-med donates gifts to Infirmary

Residents of  the Portland Infirmary in Port Antonio were the beneficiaries of a variety of gifts donated by a team from Cari-med Limited last Friday.

Matron at the infirmary, Sharon Burke lauded the efforts of the Cari-Med team, who has been donating gifts to the state-run facility for approximately four years.

“We are thankful and grateful. We eagerly look forward to Cari-med’s coming round about this time of year. They have basically adopted this facility and its residents, and in doing so, they have made this into an annual treat.”

The Cari-med team donated wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, pharmaceutical items, toiletries, along with a freezer, as part of their pre-Christmas donation to the facility.

Greatly appreciated

Mayor of Port Antonio Floyd Patterson commended the Cari-med team for the warm gesture, which he said will go a far way in not only assisting the residents directly, but will also assist with the day-to-day operation of the facility.

Meanwhile, Ruth Stafford, agency manager at Cari-med’s H-Med reiterated the company’s commitment to the infirmary and pledged to provide additional assistance to the residents at the facility.

Two wards of the state also provided entertainment to the many guests on hand. George Thomas, who is physically challenged sang a rendition of Crying Time.
