Dr. LaCalle, our partner in bridging the Gap between the Blue Mountain Project and the Jamaica Ministry of Health

Dr. Eduardo LaCalle was the first medical doctor to partner with the BMP in our initiative to share human resources with our partners at the Ministry of Health in St. Thomas Parish.  Dr. LaCalle joined us earlier this year and worked in the mountains to follow-up with patients that volunteers in our community nursing program determined needed further attention.

After several days with the BMP, Euton and Vanessa took Dr. LaCalle to Morant Bay to volunteer in the emergency department at Princess Margaret Hospital where he worked for two weeks.  Our partners in St. Thomas Parish, including the parish medical director, were thrilled and grateful for the work and assistance Dr. LaCalle provided and are very hopeful he will be back.

Dr. LaCalle is a busy ER doctor from San Francisco who determined to use his vacation time to support the medical needs in St. Thomas Parish and to explore the real Jamaica outside of the resorts.  Dr. LaCalle is certainly a special person and the BMP is lucky to have so many compassionate and caring people in our global community of volunteers.

Dr. LaCalle provided post-trip medical reports to the BMP Committee on Health Programming and those reports are being used by our medical doctors joining us later this month as the first long-term medical doctors to live in Hagley Gap.  Additionally, Dr. LaCalle is in contact with Dr. Josie Reynolds who is joining us later this year as the first medical doctor serving as a year-long Medical Ambassador. 

Dr. LaCalle says he was, "thrilled to have been able to visit patients in the incomparable Hagley Gap," and wanted us to be sure to thank, "Euton, Vanessa, Kevin and Tia," for their work.

Dr. Lacalle was a welcomed addition to working with our team here in Hagley Gap and within the St. Thomas Parish at Princess Margaret Hospital. His home visit follow ups were integral in seeking and providing further medical treatment for patients in our area. The appreciation expressed from the Princess Margaret Hospital leadership is parallel to that of the BMP. We thank you again for your service and work during your 'vacation' and will welcome you back again.
