Contact: Janin John

Thursday, September 13, 2001 - The Victoria Hospital received one thousand bed sheets, Thursday.  The sheets were donated by Unika Theodule a St. Lucian residing in St. Thomas for the past thirty-one years.   Theodule says she worked as a hotel housekeeper, but then the business folded and the hotel linen given away.  

“They said everybody can have the amount of sheets they want.  They had just ordered 1000 sheets, so I thought about St. Lucia and I decided to pick up those sheets and bring them down in order to donate them to The Victoria Hospital,” Theodule said.

Deputy Permanent Secretary for The Ministry of Health, Human Services, Family Affairs and Gender Relations, John Husbands receiving the sheets on behalf of the Hospital expressed appreciation for the gift.  “I am sure that the house keeping staff at The Victoria Hospital will make good use of these bed sheets in an effort to continue delivery of quality care to the clients and patients of Victoria Hospital,” Husband said.
