Medical teams across Eleuthera have taken part in emergency medical training as part of continuing efforts to redefine Family Island healthcare – and save lives.
For many years, the lack of emergency care to modern standards across the Family Islands has literally been a matter of life and death – so ensuring that those in need can be helped by staff with the right skills is an important part of improving healthcare throughout the Bahamian archipelago.
Eleuthera Wellness Hospital & Clinics recently invited medical teams from the hospital and satellite clinics to take part in training for basic and advanced cardiac life support, providing updates for techniques and a chance to practice skills.
“This is part of our commitment to being the leaders in emergency care on Eleuthera,” said Bahamas Wellness founder Dr Arlington Lightbourne. “This really means that staff have the skills and the confidence to help people in their hour of greatest need.”
This is the latest in a series of healthcare upgrades from the team at Eleuthera Wellness Hospital & Clinics.
The hospital – the first and only private hospital in a Family Island – opened in October and now maintains extended hours for urgent care at the same location, 24/7 hours for emergencies and hospital admissions and operates clinics in Spanish Wells, Rock Sound and Lower Bogue in Eleuthera and in Nassau.
In addition, radiology and imaging services have also been launched in Eleuthera, offering full daily radiology and imaging coverage. The clinic at Lower Bogue has also reopened.
“We see it as our mission to ensure every resident and visitor on Eleuthera has access to timely, safe and world-class healthcare – without leaving the island. Every step we take builds the healthcare services we can offer, and helps to keep people safe and healthy.”
