#JamaicaGleaner On a typical day, Suzette Buchanan starts with an inspiring self-care routine. This includes early-morning exercise and starting the day with a healthy meal. A mother of two, she says her son and daughter are her reasons for waking up each day, and her patients and staff occupy a very special place in her heart. From home, the chief executive officer of Bellevue Hospital Jamaica, travels to what she calls her home away from home. There, she spends her days empowering and motivating others, educating the public about myths and stigmas surrounding mental health, and offering warm words to patients and staff alike.
