Press releases and Feature stories | St. Maarten Medical Center

In an effort to weather any possible storms, St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) has made arrangements for its COVID care facilities (the Mobile Medical Pavilion and the ICU tent) to be made more storm resilient.

SMMC will be restarting the construction of the new hospital - St. Maarten General Hospital - per today June 15th, 2020 after construction activities were temporarily paused due to the COVID-19 imposed lockdown and associated general restrictions prevailing on St. Maarten.

SMMC has gradually resumed non-emergency health care services to the public as all COVID-19 has been transferred outside the hospital to the ICU tent and the Medical Mobile Pavilion (MMP)

SMMC recently received a donation of Stryker stretchers to be used at the Emergency Room (ER) from Stichting Vrienden SMMC, a foundation in the Netherlands that was set up with the purpose of helping SMMC rebuild after hurricane Irma and providing long term support to the hospital.
