The government community clinic for Spanish Wells and Russell Island, the first stop for a cruiser who is sick or hurt while waiting out a front in the harbour.

Practical

Coordinate approx: Spanish Wells town position (Wikipedia/GeoHack); the clinic's exact building is not mapped, so ask at the Yacht Haven office or any shop. Ministry of Health list (January 2025): tel 242-333-4064, email dphe_SpanishWells@bahamas.gov.bs, open 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday except public holidays. A 2015 ActiveCaptain reviewer also saw a private doctor who visited the island twice a week and filled a prescription at a pharmacy counter in a local store; check whether that service still runs. Serious cases are flown to Nassau, so carry evacuation insurance.
