SINT MAARTEN/VIRGINIA USA – A 30-member medical team from Virginia-based AMI Expeditionary Healthcare is en route to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten to assist coronavirus victims at the urgent request of the Dutch government.
AMI is airlifting 6 ICU physicians, 6 nurses, 6 certified nursing assistants, 2 respiratory therapists, 3 paramedics, 3 case workers and 2 project managers.
