U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – The VI Department of Health is advising the public that all offices on St. Thomas are closed due to a prolonged island-wide power outage.

However, currently the Department’s Community Health, Family Planning, and Maternal Child Health clinics are in a community outreach event offering free health screenings at VIPA in Subbase. This event will continue until 2:00 p.m. today, after which the clinics will officially close for the remainder of the day.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the public’s understanding and patience.

The St. Thomas offices and clinics will resume normal operations on Friday.
