“We recognize the importance of visitation to our patients’ recovery and overall well-being. A visit from a family member or friend can boost a patient’s morale and provide them comfort and relief.
SRMC will resume visitation in a controlled manner and family and friends will be allowed to visit with their loved ones to offer the support that they may need while hospitalized. We will continue to prioritize patient and staff safety and will monitor and adjust the visitation program if necessary.” – Tina Comissiong, Esq., Chief Executive Officer. “SRMC will continue to work with our local partners at the Virgin Islands Department of Health and follow the guidance of the CDC as it applies to safety measures for our organization.” – Chris Borgeson, Vice President of Operations.
