<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis year, the consistent contribution of Greenleaf is devoted to the Simulation Center and we are very excited about that because every small amount going towards that building and its operation, ensures that it becomes a reality and ensures that it will succeed,\u201d said UVI President David Hall. \u201cWe see physicians, existing nurses, EMTs and others being trained in the Simulation Center so that they can do a better job at improving the quality of healthcare in the Virgin Islands and wider Caribbean.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Hall indicated that Greenleaf VI\u2019s interest in supporting the Simulation Center was not surprising as it is aligned with the focus of Greenleaf VI\u2019s, as a healthcare company. \u201cThey understand very uniquely the importance of the quality of healthcare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president said that consistent donations are important because \u201cthey consistently allow us to continue to grow.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Simulation Center will allow for healthcare professionals to practice on mannequins in order to hone their skills, refine advanced techniques and learn valuable social interactive tools for delivering results to patients, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will have in our Simulation Center, surgical labs where the same type of surgery that would happen in the hospital, could happen here in the Simulation Center,\u201d Mr. Hall stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 21,920 square feet facility will feature an operating room, surgical skill laboratories, simulation laboratories, trauma moulage, debriefing rooms, team training rooms, conference room, multipurpose room and dining hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017, following Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Greenleaf VI donated $65,000 to the UVI Rise Relief Fund Initiative, which was created shortly after the Hurricanes, to assist university students and employees with the recovery process, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UVI Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Mitchell Neaves, said that Greenleaf VI displayed a keen interest in the welfare of our students and staff in the aftermath of the storms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir gift was received at a very crucial point in our recovery. Today we have several students in attendance who directly benefited from the generosity received last year,\u201d Mr. Neaves said. \u201cThe welfare of the community has been a reoccurring theme during our conversations and the University appreciates Mr. Arcidi\u2019s genuine commitment to continue investing in the UVI Medical School initiative.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
