The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean with a population of approximately 100,000 residents spread across three main islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. Healthcare delivery in the USVI faces significant challenges, including geographic isolation, limited healthcare infrastructure, and a shortage of specialist physicians. Like Puerto Rico, the USVI was severely affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, which caused extensive damage to healthcare facilities.
The primary public hospital is the Schneider Regional Medical Center on St. Thomas, which serves as the territory's main referral hospital. Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital on St. Croix is the other major public hospital. Both facilities offer emergency services, general medicine, and some specialty care, but residents requiring complex specialty procedures often travel to Puerto Rico or the continental United States.
The Virgin Islands Department of Health (VIDOH) (doh.vi.gov) oversees public health programs and healthcare licensing. The USVI participates in Medicaid under a block grant arrangement similar to Puerto Rico. Community health centers and telehealth services play an increasingly important role in extending access to care across the islands.
