Healing the whole person.
We run a 24-hour emergency department, MRI and heart services, a maternity unit that delivers about 700 babies a year, and Jamaica’s only U.S. immigration medicals, all on one campus in Kingston.
U.S. immigration medicals
How the U.S. visa medical works
Every applicant for a U.S. immigrant visa needs a medical exam, and Andrews Memorial is the only facility in Jamaica authorised to do it. It takes four steps.
- 1Gather your documents. Your Embassy letter, passport, four passport photos and a completed medical history form.
- 2Book online. All appointments are booked online. Book at least three weeks before your visa interview.
- 3Come in for your exam. Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dress neatly: no sleeveless tops or flip-flops.
- 4We send your results to the Embassy. There’s nothing for you to deliver.

Our mission
Extending Christ’s healing ministry.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church owns and runs Andrews Memorial. We practise modern medicine, and we care for a patient’s mind and spirit as well as their body.
There’s a chapel on the grounds and a vegetarian café. One patient wrote that our nurses and doctors cared "as though this was their ministry and not just a job."
