The Schneider Regional Medical Center team is saddened by the passing of our organization's namesake Dr. Roy Lester Schneider. We express our sincere condolences to his wife, Barbara, and to his family.

Dr. Schneider contributed significantly to healthcare in the US Virgin Islands, as a practicing physician, as the Commissioner for the Department of Health, and as the Governor of the US Virgin Islands. Dr. Schneider’s service to the people of the US Virgin Islands and his impact on our healthcare system will not be forgotten.

At Schneider Regional Medical Center, we mourn Dr. Schneider’s passing and we will continue to honor his legacy by remaining steadfast in our commitment to providing high quality healthcare to the residents and visitors of the US Virgin Islands.

SRMC Recieves $2.5 Million for Retention Incentives and Technology (Meditech) Upgrades

To ensure timely and transparent communication with our staff and the community, SRMC is pleased to announce that on Thursday, September 22nd, we received $2.5M of the total $10M in ARPA funds allotted to our organization by Governor Bryan and the central Government. This $2.5M is the first-year installment of the total $10M to be provided to SRMC over four years. These funds are designated and restricted for specific positions that are difficult to recruit and retain and to support the Meditech Expanse project.

While we recognize the efforts of all SRMC employees and understand their contributions to our operations and patient care, the money is not eligible to be divided amongst all staff. Only a specific subset of positions within Nursing and Allied Health meets the criteria established by the Federal Treasury and provided by the Office of Management and Budget for these retention incentives.

This retention incentive is also different from the premium pay incentive for employees who worked during specified periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have lobbied and will continue to lobby for all of our hardworking employees to receive the premium pay incentive.

SRMC has begun issuing checks to a total of 237 employees who remained employed throughout FY 22 in Nursing and Allied Health positions, who met the criteria for the retention incentive payments, which include:

Advanced Practice Nurse/Mid-Level Clinician
Clinical/Administrative Care Coordinator/Head Nurse
Nurse Clinical Informaticist
Staff Nurse
Licensed Practical Nurse
Laboratory Technician
Respiratory Therapist
Radiology Technicians
Patient Care Technician/Attendant/Nursing Assistant
Surgical Technician
Hemodialysis Technician

"Let's welcome this as a positive thing for our organization and all of us, even if we individually were not classified to receive a payment. By retaining and stabilizing our organization's critical Nursing and Allied Health positions, we will be more financially viable and better prepared to afford tangible appreciation and salary increases to all our employees. And, by our colleagues in these positions receiving incentives to stay with us, we will have a stronger hospital with more permanent, committed, local staff to provide care to our community - which we may all need at any moment for ourselves or for our loved ones as it is the only hospital on island" - Tina M. Comissiong, Esq., CEO

We thank all our employees for your contributions and truly appreciate your continued commitment to SRMC and the patients we serve.
