On September 26th, Healing Hands Worldwide, Inc. had the distinct honor of attending a remarkable event at the Embassy of Jamaica in Washington, DC. Invited by Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States, Audrey Marks, our Executive Director participated in "Let’s Connect," a special session focused on Jamaica's Health and Wellness landscape. The session featured Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, MP, Jamaica’s Minister of Health & Wellness, as the distinguished guest speaker.
The invitation extended to us recognized the invaluable contributions our organization makes to Jamaica's healthcare sector, particularly through our provision of free chemotherapy treatments for stage 2 breast cancer patients and academic scholarships for high-achieving students. This opportunity to engage in a high-level discussion alongside policymakers and experts reaffirms the importance of collaboration in driving meaningful change in healthcare access and wellness.
The event served as a powerful platform for discussing innovative ways to enhance health services across Jamaica. Our Executive Director shared insights into the critical role nonprofits (like Healing Hands Worldwide, Inc.) play in supporting vulnerable populations, particularly women facing the challenges of breast cancer. We also explored potential synergies between public health initiatives and the work being done in the nonprofit sector.
As we continue our mission to provide life-saving treatments and educational opportunities, we are grateful for moments like these that allow us to connect with other thought leaders and advocate for the wellbeing of Jamaicans at home and abroad. A special thank you to Ambassador Marks and the Embassy of Jamaica for hosting this important event, and to Minister Tufton for his dedication to improving health outcomes for all Jamaicans.
Stay tuned for more updates as we further our efforts to create lasting impact in healthcare and education!
