medical and dental services as well a 22-bed hospice for HIV, cancer, and other palliative patients.

Currently, there is over a two year wait for basic eye care services in this part of Jamaica. The Brenda Strafford

The proposed Brenda Strafford Eye Centre will be dedicated to optometry and ophthalmology services in order to better serve the local population.
