*To Whom It May Concern:

I was wondering how big the
hospital is on St. Thomas, is it
fully staffed, and capable of
performing surgeries ?

Thank you,

Jeff

Jeff,

I just moved here, so there are certainly others who can provide more detail. However, I do know that it did just pass the JACHO accreditation. This is the organization that accredits American hospitals.

I checked into it a little before I moved here. My impression is that it is OK for routine stuff. I don't think I'd want to have a heart transplant here.

Mike

There are general surgeons, ENT, orthopedic and even a part-time neurosurgeon, but sorry, Mike, no cardiac surgeons!!!
