Today, Vieques begins a new chapter in its healthcare history. This project is the result of an effort that began nearly a decade ago during my tenure as Resident Commissioner and that, today, as Governor, culminates in the restoration of essential hospital services for the people of Vieques. Thanks to @POTUS Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services @SecKennedy for their support and for continuing to work alongside Puerto Rico to address the needs of our people and strengthen access to quality healthcare services. - Hoy Vieques escribe un nuevo capítulo en su historia de salud. Este proyecto es resultado de un esfuerzo que comenzó hace casi una década, durante mi tiempo como Comisionada Residente, y que hoy, como Gobernadora, culmina con la reapertura de servicios hospitalarios esenciales para los viequenses. Agradecemos al presidente Donald J. Trump y al secretario de HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., por su respaldo y por continuar trabajando junto a Puerto Rico para atender las necesidades de nuestra población y fortalecer el acceso a servicios de salud de calidad.

Thank you, @SecKennedy, for joining us in Vieques on this historic day. After nine years, the people of Vieques once again have essential hospital services close to home. I also thank @POTUS and his Administration for their partnership in advancing Puerto Rico’s healthcare priorities. We look forward to continuing our work together for the American citizens of Vieques and throughout Puerto Rico.
