In 1999, the Virgin Islands Government Hospitals and Health Facilities Corporation was created as a public entity of the Government of the Virgin Islands (GVI) to manage health care delivery in partnership with the GVI. The corporation is administered by a Board of Directors consisting of fifteen members representing St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John, Virgin Islands. The corporation delegates power to two district governing boards; one for the District of St. Thomas-St. John, and the other for the District of St. Croix.
