Jamaica

Village of Hope Hospice - Established 1997

Village of Hope Hospice is a 19-bed, resident care facility committed to providing holistic, patient-centered care to all our patients. This involves a team-oriented approach to medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support that are tailored to the needs of each patient. Our 24/7 operations are run by a team of trained Jamaican Practical Nurses who work under the direction of our licensed Jamaican Physician. 

Hope Hospice opened its doors in 1997 under the management of Good Shepherd Foundation. A few years later a partnership agreement was signed with The Brenda Strafford Foundation. Since 2018, Village of Hope Hospice has been run solely by Village of Hope Limited, a registered charitable organization in Jamaica incorporated in 2010 (registration #CAIN100NR-60C) as a part of The Brenda Strafford Foundation. The hospice was initially established to support dignified end of life care for HIV, cancer, and other palliative patients but has evolved to also provide continuing care support for residents with longer term care needs.

Community Vision Centre of Excellence - Established 2018

Operated by Canadian Vision Care and Lions Club of Montego Bay, the Community Vision Centre of Excellence at BSF’s Village of Hope in Montego Bay provides primary, secondary, and surgical eye care services on a charitable basis.
