The event paid special tribute to the nation\u2019s healthcare professionals, who continue to serve with unwavering dedication and compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The luncheon formed part of a broader celebration of International Nurses Day, held annually on May 12 \u2013 the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The programme began with a fervent invocation by Mrs. Corlette Francis Spencer, Treasurer of the NAJ, setting a reflective tone for the occasion.\u00a0 This was followed by the welcome and introduction by Mrs. Meisha Young Lewars, Assistant Recording Secretary, NAJ, and a thoughtful overview of this year\u2019s Nurses\u2019 Week theme, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOur Nurses. Our Future. Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> delivered by LASCO, NAJ Nurse of the Year 2024-2025, Abigail James. Her presentation underscored the global importance of investing in nurses as the lifeblood of healthcare systems and thriving economies &#8211; an insight that was applauded and supported by Professor Rosalea Hamilton, CEO of the LASCO Chin Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Hamilton highlighted LASCO\u2019s sustained investment in the nursing profession, describing it as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201ca shining example of how the private sector can lead with purpose.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Highlighting the annual LASCO, NAJ Nurse and Nursing Student of the Year Awards, the foundation\u2019s CEO noted that the initiative has become more than a ceremony but more of a symbol of national gratitude and an important mechanism for inspiring excellence in the profession. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThrough meaningful investments and sustained engagement, LASCO not only has uplifted the profession, but amplified its voice,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She concluded with a call to action for continued public-private collaboration: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe must also ensure that our nurses work in environments that are safe, supportive, and worthy of their commitment and sacrifice. As we celebrate these heroes today on International Nurses Day and the upcoming National Nurses Week in July, let us remember that supporting nurses is not a one-day event &#8211; it is a continuous national priority. Looking ahead, the LASCO Chin Foundation reaffirms our dedication to nurses across Jamaica. Our future depends on the health of our people, and the health of our people depends on the strength, skill, and spirit of our nurses.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the CEO\u2019s address, the nurses were treated to a heartfelt tribute by Saxophonist Andrene Brown, whose moving rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings, struck an emotional chord with attendees &#8211; an apt musical salute to the selfless spirit of nursing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In one of the afternoon\u2019s most synergistic moments, nurses representing the four regions engaged in a creative competition where they composed and performed jingles based on the 2025 theme. The performances were a blend of energy, pride, and humour \u2013 showcasing the vibrancy and unity of the nursing fraternity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Honourable Christopher Tufton, also saluted the nurses for their unwavering commitment, dubbing them \u201ctrue heroes\u201d whose work remains essential to the well-being of Jamaicans. He noted that their courage, care, and consistency form the backbone of Jamaica\u2019s healthcare system, particularly in challenging times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Actress and cultural advocate Miss Dahlia Harris, delivering the keynote address, stirred the room with powerful words that echoed the collective sentiment of the nation, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHeroes\u2019 names and identities are often unknown \u2014 in the same way people just know you as \u2018nurse\u2019. Because being a nurse is not just what you do, but who you are.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her moving message served as a reminder of the quiet heroism and the invisible capes worn daily by nurses across Jamaica.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">President of the NAJ, Mrs. Dawn Marie Richards expressed gratitude for the continued support and recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The LASCO Chin Foundation encourages Jamaicans to continue showing appreciation to nurses not just on special occasions, but every day \u2013 because behind every healed patient is a nurse whose name you may never know, but whose impact lasts a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"11399\" src=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-scaled.webp 1920w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50191-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"11400\" src=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-scaled.webp 1920w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50344-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"11401\" src=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-scaled.webp 1920w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR50558-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"11402\" src=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-scaled.webp 1920w, https:\/\/lascofoundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LHR51250-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingston, Jamaica:\u2013 It was a heartfelt afternoon of reflection, recognition, and reverence as Jamaica\u2019s nurses were honoured at the International Nurses&#8217; Day luncheon, hosted by the Nurses Association of Jamaica (NAJ) in partnership with the LASCO Chin Foundation.
