desired consistency) • 1 cup kidney beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)

Directions: Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant. Add Liquids and Spices: Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir in thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper. If using, add the whole scotch bonnet pepper (do not break it unless you want more heat). Add Beans and Rice: Add the kidney beans and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the rinsed rice. Cook the Rice: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Avoid stirring too much to keep the rice fluffy. Finish and Serve: Remove the scotch bonnet pepper. Fluff the rice with a fork, taste, and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve as a side with fish, chicken, or vegetables. Tips: For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme while cooking. You can substitute red beans for kidney beans if preferred. Pair with Cayman-style fish dishes for a truly local meal!

“Telehealth involves using telecommunications and virtual technology to deliver healthcare outside of traditional healthcare facilities. Telehealth, which requires access only to telecommunications, is the most basic element of “eHealth,” which uses a broader range of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Telehealth examples include virtual home health care, where patients such as the chronically ill or the elderly may receive guidance in specific procedures while remaining at home. Telehealth has also made it easier for healthcare workers in remote field settings to obtain advice from professionals elsewhere in diagnosis, care, and referral of patients. Training can sometimes also be delivered via telehealth schemes or related technologies such as eHealth, which uses small computers and the internet. Well-designed telehealth schemes can improve healthcare access and outcomes, particularly for chronic disease treatment and vulnerable groups. Not only do they reduce demands on crowded facilities, but they also create cost savings and make the health sector more We Offer Telehealth

resilient. Since remote communication and treatment of patients reduce the number of health service visits, transport-related emissions and operational requirements emissions are reduced. In addition, fewer space demands can result in smaller health facilities, with concurrent reductions in construction materials, energy and water consumption, waste, and overall environmental impact.”
