Dr Shivon Belle-Jarvis Appointed New Medical Director of SLBMC
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.
The recent loss of Dr. Albert Duncan has been deeply felt throughout the medical community, and the appointments of Dr. Belle-Jarvis and Dr. George-Nanton are seen as a vital step in ensuring the continuity of exemplary care and management at the center.
Both doctors bring a wealth of experience and a commitment to healthcare excellence as they step into these significant roles within the institution.
