Greetings Shawn and welcome to BT! Yes there are medical facilities on the island. That is a major concern for me because I have some allergies that can be fatal if untreated. There are a few medical people on this board so they can probably give you the run down. I have seen the hospital, but thankfully have never had to use it. I hope someone on island or who has experienced the medical system can better answer you.

Shawn, they have a medical office (with a Doctor(s)) just across the hospital for non emergencies. I had forgotten to get a refill on my Insulin Resistance meds, and got an appointment with the local doc and he was able to get me enough pills to get me back home. ...San Francisco Hospital is on life support and the hospital administration is threatening to pull the plug by blocking admission of new patients to the hospital and closing the operating room...

Well that's no fun, I was just thinking to myself maybe when I'm done with school if I really enjoy the island I could come be a nurse there ;). That's good to know though in case I ever have an emergency. The girlfriend is pretty clumbsy and you just never know. Plus she's deathly afraid some shark is going to get her lol, so maybe telling her there's a hospital nearby just in case will ease her worries some.

Shawn...your dream is like a lot of others...living and working on Bonaire. Unfortunately (for US and other non residents) the first jobs are given to the Dutch and the Antilleans, and then if there is no one that can fill the job position, they accept other applications.

Anyone use IMG global? What about PIU? do you use PIU Mark? IMG's website is a lot friendlier and explains the different plans in detail. Just wondering if they are reliable.
