Annual Tea Reception Held For Retired Nurses
The Department of Health recently supported their retired Nurses by hosting their annual Nurses Tea at the Pavilion at the National Sports Center, which the Minister of Health, Seniors and Environment Jeanne Atherden attended.
The Department has a total of 35 nurses on their list of invitees who have retired from the government Community Health Nursing services, Lefroy House or Sylvia Richardson.
Gaynell Hayward-Caesar, Chief Nursing Officer said: “The retirees were recognized as having left us with a rich legacy. There is mutual reflection of the old days and how it compares to the current way of doing things. There is lots of laughter and fun had by all.”
The Retired Nurses tea began many years ago and was the brainchild of the late Iris Davis. The younger nurses of the department plan the celebratory event, decorate, plan the menu and serve their retired colleagues. There is a slide show that is shown in the background that highlights the staff over 40 years ago. The tea has become a hallmark of Nurses Month.
