carecenterland12052011American Care Clinic plans to work closely with SMMC and SZV


PHILIPSBURG:--- The group of American doctors that are representing Dr. Samuel Hess and the Wathey family will soon finalize their agreement to construct an American Care Clinic in Simpson Bay which would cater mainly to tourists.
The Care Center will be built in Simpson Bay close to Royal Palm Hotel. The Wathey family and the group of doctors including Dr. Samuel Hess began negotiations since 2010. SMN News understands that a team representing the American Care Center were on the island this past weekend and an agreement was reached.
However, Al Wathey said when he was contacted that he could not make a statement because the last thing he heard from the investors were that they were busy finalizing their financing for the project. Dr. Samuel Hess told SMN News that they will be visiting the island mid- April 2015 (between the 15th to the 20th April) with the intention to close off the agreement since they already have their specialists and other staff in place. Dr. Hess said their intention is not only to provide care for visitors to the island but their intention is work closely with the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC). He said they also intend to work with SZV to provide care for locals if and when they are referred to the American Care Center by SMMC and other medical practitioners. "If and when patients are referred to us we will provide the services if we have the specialists. We would not be working like the other tourism based care centers who just provide care for tourist, our intention is to work with the local population, SMMC and the doctors on the Dutch side of the island."Dr. Hess said that they intend to meet with management of SMMC when they return to the island next month and to also seek an appointment with SZV. "We met with these persons in the past but now that we are closer to realizing the project we have to meet with these two bodies to ensure a working agreement is in place." Dr. Hess made clear that their intention is to provide services to the local population and not just tourist. He further explained that the project took longer than expected because government changed a few times. The developer said they are working very closely with government and other stakeholders especially now that the government on St. Maarten is looking into improving the St. Maarten Medical Center.
Asked if they have a valid license Dr. Hess confirmed that they are in possession of a license but they have not yet requested a building permit from the department of VROMI. Asked when they intend to begin construction of the Care Center Dr. Hess said they wished they had a year ago but that did not happen. The American Care Center will be providing plastic surgeries, oncology and radiation treatment, as well as knee and spinal surgeries.
