Dr. Shivon Belle-Jarvis has been officially appointed as the new Medical Director of the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center (SLBMC).

This important leadership role comes in the wake of the recent passing of Dr. Albert Duncan, who served the hospital with dedication and expertise.

In light of Dr. Duncan’s dual positions at the SLBMC, the Cabinet has determined that his responsibilities will now be managed by two highly qualified professionals.

Dr. Vonetta George-Nanton has also been named the Chief Surgeon at SLBMC, assuming a critical leadership position in the surgical department.
