Continuum Care, Inc. (CCI), Hospice of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St, John. CCI is a Virgin Islands company and is the first hospice in the Virgin Islands. CCI is the only Medicare certified hospice in the US Virgin Islands. We started on St. Croix in 2000 and expanded our services to St. Thomas and St. John in February 2004.

Our goal at CCI is to provide care to the terminally ill at home, in a supportive environment in which the patient is alert, free of pain and, along with those that he or she has chosen, makes the decisions regarding care. We are dedicated to making their end-of-life as comfortable and dignified as possible. To date, we have provided end-of-life care to over 600 patients and their families, many of whom were able to return home from the mainland to be with their loved ones.

CCI employs over 65 Virgin Islanders, most in a licensed capacity, on all three islands. In addition to providing hospice care, CCI also is a licensed continuing education provider. It provides continuing education for VI health care professionals and is very active in providing health care education for the community.

The founder of CCI, Tracy Stewart Sanders, has been a registered nurse for more than 30 years. She received her Bachelors Degree in Nursing from Mt. St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles and her Masters Degree from UCLA as a Clinical Nurse Specialist. She is also the AARP Grief and Loss Coordinator for the Virgin Islands.

Ms. Sanders has extensive experience providing and supervising care in multiple settings including community health, hospital, home care and hospice. For many years she was the chief operating officer for the largest independent home care and hospice company in Georgia. Ms. Sanders and her husband, Dr. Herb Sanders, have resided in the Virgin Islands full time since 1995.
