Saint Thomas VA Clinic

The Saint Thomas VA Clinic is a community based outpatient clinic of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, run as a satellite of the San Juan VA Medical Center in Puerto Rico. It opened in 1994 to give veterans on St. Thomas and St. John easier access to primary care, and it is in Estate Thomas. Services listed by the VA include primary and preventive care, care of chronic conditions, behavioral health, pharmacy, nutrition, EKG, laboratory testing through community care, and the HUD-VASH program for homeless veterans. It serves veterans enrolled in VA health care, so a veteran moving to the islands should enroll or transfer care and ask which specialty services require travel to San Juan. The VA offers beneficiary travel benefits for eligible veterans, and its website also lists a VA health connect line and a mental health care line. The clinic is closed on weekends and holidays.
