Practical
Bahamas Cruisers Guide (updated 2017 and 2019) lists a government clinic at Simms with a doctor and nurse on staff, phone 242-338-8488; its Cape Santa Maria page notes the doctor lived at Stella Maris. Phone numbers come from 2017-2019 listings, so verify locally. Position is the OpenStreetMap Simms Settlement hamlet node, not the clinic building; ask in the settlement or land at the Simms public dock. Government clinics handle basic care; serious cases are flown to Nassau. Dental care is listed at Salt Pond (see the Salt Pond dental clinic entry).
