Felicia McLean serves as the Chief Nursing Officer for the Ministry of Health, Environment & Sustainability. A passionate supporter of nursing excellence, she strongly believes that public service is crucial to the future success of the Cayman Islands.

Throughout her career, she has been driven by a deep recognition of the vital role nurses play in delivering exemplary care and the importance of cultivating qualified and compassionate nurses.

Mrs. McLean is committed to leading initiatives that improve the professional development of the nursing profession and ensuring the highest standards of patient care in the Cayman Islands. Her extensive nursing experience, qualifications, and dedication to palliative care led to her promotion from Clinical Manager to Director of Operations and Nursing. She successfully led Jasmine through the rebranding of Cayman HospiceCare to Jasmine in 2018. This campaign was launched to not only remove the stigma attached to hospice care within the Cayman community, but to also educate the public about the full array of services offered by Jasmine and to encourage early referrals for patients who were dealing with terminal illnesses.

Mrs. McLean has served on numerous national committees and boards to advance healthcare policies. She played a critical role on the committee which led to the implementation of the Health Care Decision Act in 2019, which formally recognises advance care directives as a legal document empowering patients to express medical preferences in the event of becoming incapacitated.

In recognition of her contributions to health services, Mrs. McLean was awarded the National Heroes Day Emerging Pioneer Award in Health Services in 2015. In 2019, she was honoured with a Certificate and Badge of Honour from HRH the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, for her work with palliative care in the Cayman Islands.

Mrs. McLean qualified as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1997 and continued her career at the Cayman Islands Hospital before earning her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Barry University in 2003.
