At 876 Nurses Home Care Services Limited, caring for Jamaica extends beyond the patients and families we serve each day. It also means supporting the people, programmes and initiatives that contribute to the continued development of our communities and our country.

This commitment is reflected in our continued sponsorship of the Miss Jamaica World Eastern Region competition. For two consecutive years, 876 Nurses has supported young Jamaican women throughout different stages of their pageant journeys—investing in their growth, their platforms and their ability to make a meaningful difference.

Our sponsorship journey began in 2025 with Amanda Campbell, who represented 876 Nurses in the Miss Jamaica World Eastern Region competition. We later supported T-Dane Gordon as Miss 876 Nurses at the national Miss Jamaica World competition.

In 2026, that journey continued with Akaycia Williamson, whose outstanding performance earned her the title of Miss Jamaica World Eastern Region 2026 and a place among the Top 10 finalists in the national Miss Jamaica World competition.

Each of these young women has represented qualities that 876 Nurses is proud to support: confidence, discipline, compassion, purpose and a commitment to positively influencing the lives of others.

Beauty That Serves a Greater Purpose

The Miss World organisation’s longstanding “Beauty With a Purpose” principle encourages contestants to look beyond the crown and use their voices and platforms to champion causes that improve lives.

It is a philosophy that aligns naturally with the values of 876 Nurses.

For us, true beauty is reflected in compassion, service and the willingness to help others. It is found in a woman who understands that her influence can be used to educate, advocate and inspire positive change within her community.

Our sponsorship of the Miss Jamaica World Eastern Region competition is therefore about more than supporting an event. It represents our belief in the potential of Jamaican women and our commitment to helping create opportunities for them to grow into confident advocates, leaders and agents of change.

Caring Beyond the Home

876 Nurses was established to provide dependable, professional and compassionate healthcare and support services in the comfort of home.

Through nursing care, caregiving, physiotherapy, post-operative support, elder care, childcare, meal preparation, housekeeping and other essential services, we help Jamaicans maintain their health, preserve their independence and enjoy a better quality of life.

However, our responsibility does not end at the doors of the homes we enter.

We care about the total health, wellness and well-being of the Jamaican people. We care about helping Jamaicans live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives. We also care about the future of our country and the development of a society in which people are empowered to serve, advocate and lead.

Supporting young women through the Miss Jamaica World platform allows us to contribute to that wider mission.

Supporting Women With Vision

Pageantry at this level requires far more than presentation. Contestants must demonstrate intelligence, discipline, social awareness, confidence and a genuine commitment to service.

These are qualities that 876 Nurses is proud to encourage.

As a healthcare company, we understand the importance of advocacy. Meaningful change often begins when someone is prepared to speak openly about an issue, educate others and mobilise support around a cause.

By providing young Jamaican women with opportunities to champion the issues affecting their communities, the Miss Jamaica World Eastern Region competition helps transform individual passion into collective impact.

Building a Healthier, Stronger Jamaica

Corporate social responsibility is not separate from the work we do at 876 Nurses—it is an extension of it.

Every service we provide is rooted in the belief that Jamaicans deserve compassionate care and the opportunity to enjoy the best that life and our country have to offer. Similarly, every community initiative we support reflects our desire to contribute to a healthier, stronger and more progressive Jamaica.

We remain proud of Amanda Campbell, T-Dane Gordon and Akaycia Williamson, and of the privilege we have had to support them along their respective journeys.

At 876 Nurses Home Care Services Limited, we believe beauty is most powerful when joined with compassion, and purpose becomes most meaningful when placed in service to others.

That is the Jamaica we are committed to helping build: one in which our people are cared for, our young women are empowered and every citizen has the opportunity to live well.
