What an incredible milestone for UVI MSC and the Virgin Islands!

UVI MSC is proud to celebrate its second SANE/SART training, hosted in partnership with the Georgia SAFE network through HRSA support. This important effort reflects the MSC’s commitment to workforce development, improved healthcare quality and safety in the USVI, and the continued expansion of EMS and multidisciplinary training opportunities across the Territory.

By welcoming 15 new members to the USVI SART team — including nurses, Department of Justice victims advocates, and law enforcement officers — this training strengthens the trauma-informed, survivor-centered response our community deserves.

We are proud of this growing partnership and the lasting impact it will have on survivor care, interagency coordination, and the overall health and safety of our Territory.
