Reggae Boy and Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey is set to be honoured by Bellevue Hospital in Kingston, as the institution names its newly opened family room after the Jamaican football star. The official dedication ceremony will take place on Friday morning, recognizing Bailey’s contributions to the hospital’s latest initiative aimed at improving conditions for patients and their families.

Bailey is among three key sponsors who helped fund the JMD$3 million family room project, alongside the Bounty Killer Foundation and Suzette Thompson, who made her contribution in gratitude for the care her relative has received at Bellevue for the past two decades.

The family room, designed to offer a comfortable space for visitors and caregivers, represents an important step in enhancing the hospital’s patient support services. During Friday’s event, Bailey is also expected to make an additional JMD$500,000 donation to the hospital, furthering his commitment to giving back to the community.

Bailey, known for his generosity off the pitch, has been actively involved in various philanthropic efforts in Jamaica. This latest contribution underscores his dedication to supporting mental health initiatives and improving healthcare facilities on the island.

The Bellevue Hospital, Jamaica’s largest mental health facility, continues to benefit from partnerships with public figures and organizations committed to enhancing patient welfare. Bailey’s involvement is expected to raise further awareness of mental health issues and inspire continued support for the institution.
