One of Antigua and Barbuda’s most recognizable veteran broadcasters, Paul Quinn, is now showing encouraging signs of improvement after being readmitted to a medical facility this week, as he continues his long road to recovery following a devastating major stroke late last year.
According to a statement released by Quinn’s family, the well-known media personality was transferred to the hospital on Thursday afternoon after clinicians detected three concerning health complications: abnormally low blood pressure, an irregular cardiac rhythm, and aspiration pneumonia. These new issues emerged just months after Quinn suffered the severe stroke that has kept him in recovery since November 10, 2024.
In an update shared with the public Friday, Quinn’s relatives reported that the 78-year-old broadcaster has responded positively to the targeted medical interventions he has received since being readmitted. Calling on the wider community that has long supported Quinn throughout his career to continue standing with him during this challenging time, the family asked for continued prayers and well-wishes.
“He is doing a lot better now. Please keep him in your prayers,” the family said in a brief, heartfelt statement to local media.
Quinn has built a decades-long legacy in Antigua and Barbuda’s media landscape, most notably for his long tenure at Observer Radio. There, he co-hosted the station’s flagship and widely popular talk show “Voice of the People”, a program that became a staple of daily local discourse for thousands of listeners across the twin-island nation, giving a platform to ordinary citizens to share their concerns, opinions, and experiences.
Since Quinn first suffered his severe stroke late last year, the outpouring of support for the veteran broadcaster has been widespread across Antigua and Barbuda. Former on-air colleagues, long-time listeners, community leaders, and other members of the public have all shared messages of support, hope, and solidarity with Quinn and his family as he works through his extended recovery process.
