From Cruz Bay to Schneider Regional
Published by the St. John Travel Journal · Target footprint: Catherineberg and Cruz Bay
A cut, a fever, or a first look at an injury starts on St. John. Call 911 for an emergency. Do not drive a serious injury down the North Shore road yourself.
Call 911
Say Valhalla, Catherineberg, above Cinnamon Bay, on the North Shore of St. John. Have an ID and the insurance card ready. Send one person with the patient.
Where EMS goes
- Myrah Keating Smith, or straight to the boat. EMS decides. Some patients go to the 24-hour clinic in Susannaberg to be stabilized. Others go straight to the ambulance boat.
- The crossing. The ambulance boat leaves Cruz Bay for St. Thomas.
- Schneider Regional. A second crew takes the patient to 9048 Sugar Estate, Charlotte Amalie. The number is 340-776-8311. That hospital has a 24-hour emergency department, surgery, and intensive care.
