St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands — The Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital & Medical Center (JFL) remains committed to delivering uninterrupted, high-quality care to St. Croix residents and seeks to address recent concerns about restroom supply availability.

When concerns arose, JFL maintained an adequate supply of toilet paper and continued to meet the needs of patients, visitors, and staff. There was no disruption to hospital operations or patient services related to restroom supplies.

JFL values transparency and open communication, and is committed to sharing accurate, verified information with the public. In times of increased scrutiny, incomplete or unverified information can cause unnecessary concern among patients, employees, and community stakeholders.

JFL encourages anyone with questions about hospital operations to contact the organization directly for accurate information. Maintaining public confidence depends on a shared commitment to facts, context, and responsible communication.

JFL sincerely thanks the Gems of Paradise Chapter No. 176 for donating 16 cases of toilet paper and the Rogers Brothers for contributing 12 additional cases.
Although JFL's supply needs were met, these donations are greatly appreciated and demonstrate the community's ongoing support for the hospital and its mission.

"We are grateful for the ongoing partnership and generosity of our community,"said Chief Operating Officer Adeline Williams-Connor. "The support we
receive from organizations and individuals throughout St. Croix, strengthens our ability to serve patients and reinforces the shared commitment to quality healthcare in the Virgin Islands."

JFL remains dedicated to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable healthcare while managing resources responsibly and advancing initiatives that support the long-term health of our community.
