Last week Friday President of Parliament Hon. Gracita Arrindell led a delegation of Members of Parliament (MPs) to the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) who visited patients and staff spreading the holiday season cheer.
MPs delivered fruit baskets to the various sections of SMMC that included the children’s ward, adults, emergency ward as well as the staff at the reception desks.
"The dedicated nurses and other support staff were very happy of the visit. While everyone very much appreciated the baskets, what counted the most was the presence of the people’s representatives from the House Parliament.
"On behalf of the House of Parliament of country Sint Maarten, I am delighted to take this opportunity to bring you the Christmas greetings of all Members and staff of the honourable House.
"The holiday season is a time to be enjoyed with those close to us: family, friends and our loved ones. To all Sint Maarteners, wherever you are, and, whatever your plans, have a peaceful, and happy Christmas," President of Parliament Hon. Gracita Arrindell said on Sunday.
Staff from the House of Parliament also accompanied the President and MPs.
