Is there a hospital on St John?

The Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center on St John (located on Centerline Road) was reopened in March of 2019!

The DeCastro Clinic in Cruz Bay is now closed.

The Roy Lester Schneider Hospital is located on St. Thomas. Emergency room service is available 24 hours a day at the hospital. St John is also fortunate to have the all volunteer St John Rescue organization available to assist St John's fire and police.

In case of emergency call St John Rescue at 340-776-9110 or 911.

Is the Zika Virus in the USVI?

The Zika Virus: please see the <a href=" http://www.healthvi.org" target="_blank">USVI Health Department</a> with information on Zika in the Virgin Islands: We also recommend the purchase of <a href="https://www.insuremytrip.com/travel-insurance-plans/comprehensive/" target="_blank">Comprehensive trip insurance</a> from Insure My Trip.

</br></br>Most insurance companies recommend that anyone who is booking travel and is concerned about the Zika virus should consider a Comprehensive travel insurance policy. Not all travel insurance policies are going to cover trip cancellation or trip interruption for pregnant travelers who are canceling their trips to areas affected by the Zika virus, so customers are encouraged to read their policies and talk to a travel insurance expert to be sure they’re getting the coverage they require in this particular instance.
