Due to the approach of Hurricane Beryl, the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority (HSA) will be closing its Outpatient clinics, including district health centres, urgent care, therapy services, mental health, phlebotomy, radiology, dental and eye clinics across all three islands as of 12pm on Wednesday, 3rd July through Thursday 4th July 2024.
The following services will close early Wednesday, 3rd July:

- Information Desk and Medical Records – closes at 2:00 pm
Additionally, the HSA has cancelled all elective surgeries. Patients will be contacted directly to reschedule appointments affected by these closures.
HSA will provide updates regarding resumption of all services pending an all-clear from Hazard Management Cayman Islands following the storm.
A&E will still operate 24 hours, but persons are reminded to stay home unless it is a true medical emergency. During tropical force winds, 911 emergency calls are responded to on an individual basis depending on risk assessment. Treatment should be sought for medical emergencies only. EMS vehicles do not operate in tropical force winds, which are deemed unsafe for you and the EMS responders.
