Emergency Department with a staffed telephone crisis line and
helicopter transport service. The CBOCs are not new facilities.
Previously, these were satellite facilities of the VHA hospital
in Puerto Rico; when HH was built and opened, affiliation was
transferred. HH is rated as a complexity 2 health care facility
within the VA system. Complexity 1 (a, b, and c) facilities manage
the most difficult clinical conditions, while complexity 3 facilities
manage the least difficult. Although HH is small, it is staffed as a
complexity 2 facility due to the remote, island location.
