Leadership

“Working at SMMC is more than working in the hospital to me, but working in and for St. Maarten. My job brings me great satisfaction; to work on the island that I call home, caring for my community whom I call my people. The appreciation we get from our patients can never be expressed in money or words. Our patients will occasionally remember their surgical procedure but they will always remember the personal and highest quality care and service that we give. We cannot give anything less than our best.”

Dr. Felix Holiday

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Quality & Safety

SMMC is committed to the ongoing improvement of the quality and safety of care provided to its patients. The hospital’s main focus is to reinforce a culture and environment where all
employees are patient-focused and
provide the highest quality care services in accordance with national and internationalbest practices. By adopting the concept of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), the hospital strives to better meet client needs
and exceed their expectations. Our patients and staff are central to our CQI. Through tracking key quality and safety indicators, we are dedicated to improved patient outcomes.
As we shift our organization towards a new General Hospital, we are aiming to become a Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited organization which is considered
the gold standard in global health care.

JCI Accreditation

JCI-accredited organizations are rigorously evaluated and must demonstrate committed compliance to quality care delivery based on the most current evidence-based practice standards. This means SMMC is working to improve and implement high-quality care initiatives, patientsafe policies, practices, and procedures required to meet those standards.
