The Virgin Islands Department of Health says the Morris F. deCastro Clinic in Cruz Bay will close temporarily beginning Thursday, October 29, as staff prepare to relocate operations ahead of a major renovation.
Clinic services will be suspended while patient records, furniture, equipment and other resources are secured and transferred. The department has not yet announced the temporary clinic location or the date services will resume.
Health describes the move as the first phase of a broader effort to modernize the facility and improve its capacity. The notice does not publish a construction start date, renovation completion date or alternate-service plan during the transition.
Residents should monitor current Health Department updates before traveling to the clinic. A passed closure date must not be treated as evidence that the temporary site has opened or that services have resumed.
Health should publish the temporary address, accessible transportation options, operating hours, appointment instructions, alternate services and a dated reopening notice before the closure begins.
