The 2017 hurricanes displaced Virgin Islanders even before they devastated the islands. Dialysis patients were evacuated to the mainland to receive treatment and many still have not returned. Since then, the St. Croix hospital - Gov. Juan Luis Hospital and Medical Center - has installed 12 temporary dialysis stations in trailers. In 2018, the Virgin Islands Healthcare Foundation was formed to build a new facility on St. Croix to serve those not able to access the hospital.
