St. Maarten Medical Center is a general hospital serving the community of Dutch St Maarten in the north-eastern Caribbean.  Our patient care services also support the surrounding smaller islands such as Saba, Statia, Anguilla as well as others in the region. 

SMMC is an autonomous non-governmental organization that opened its doors in 1991.  It is supervised by a Government-approved Board of Directors.  The daily management lies in the hands of a General Director and a Financial Director, who in turn are assisted by five department heads.  The majority of the medical specialists are not in service of the SMMC, but many maintain their private practices on the premises of the hospital.  The hospital boasts a diverse nursing staff, recruited locally and internationally to serve the multicultural and multi-lingual needs of the community.  The nursing staff is supported by our in-house nationally accredited Education Department, whose task it is to offer training, upgrading and specialization courses in the field of nursing as well as defining patient handling protocols to ensure that SMMC meets the highest standards in patient care.

Partners in Care

In partnership with other organizations in care the SMMC will be able to continue defining the importance of quality care, as well as expanding its frontiers and opportunities to continue improving this quality of care now and in the future.

Together we are committed to investing in the holistic well being of our people by focusing and upholding the ingredients that contribute to client centered care.
