  1. Greetings. Please note that the information as published is incorrect in the following areas: 1) This media release is from the St. Thomas East End Medical Center Corporation (STEEMCC), not the VI Department of Health. STEEMCC is a federally qualified private non-profit corporation. 2) The associated logo is not STEEMCC’s logo. 3) The quote should not be attributed to a VI Department of Health official, rather to the Executive Director of STEEMCC.
    Can you please make these corrections to reflect the official media release issued by STEEMCC on Friday, October 20, 2017, in order not to confuse our patients and the general public. Thank you.
    –Moleto A. Smith Jr., STEEMCC Executive Director
