Cardiology Services: Cardiovascular disease is very common in Jamaica and also has an unacceptably high mortality rate. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one in every three deaths in Jamaica is due to cardiovascular disease (stroke, heart attacks, aortic aneurysms). Cardiovascular disease is therefore the single most important cause of death in Jamaica. Of course this does not take into account the burden of the residual disability, the loss of income, the medical costs incurred and the devastation experienced by families when their loved ones or main income earners are so afflicted. Fortunately, many forms of cardiovascular disease are preventable. Even in cases where patients present after they have developed cardiovascular disease, they can be treated in order to prevent further complications and an untimely death. This is the mission and mantra of our cardiovascular program. We provide the following services:
- Cardiology consultations
- Executive medicals
- Pre-operative cardiovascular assessments
- Chest pain evaluation
- Evaluation of patients with unexplained palpitations, blackouts, shortness of breath

Infectious Disease Services: With the emergence of frightening communicable diseases such as Ebola in areas of West Africa, the arrival of Chikungunya in Jamaica, and the ever evolving changes in management of established infections such as HIV, an infectious diseases (ID) specialist is essential in protecting us and our families from communicable diseases. Our adult ID specialist is one of only two in clinical practice in Jamaica. The services she provides are as follows:
