The White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation

The care services of the White and Yellow Cross Foundation originated more than hundred years. It started around 1900 when clergyman began to provide care for the needy. Over the years, hospital and elderly care started to develop and increase, resulting in 1972 with the official establishment of the White and Yellow Cross Foundation Sint Maarten. In 1991 Hospital care was transferred to the Sint Maarten Medical Center and the WYCF continued to focus on chronic care, elderly services and the intellectually disabled. In 2003 the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation (WYCCF) was established and in 2006 an organizational change was initiated with the switch from departmental descriptions to care product definitions. Since the transformation of the White and Yellow Cross Foundation into the WYCCF, it has grown from a charity focused entity to a professional healthcare organization. The foundation is presently one of the major healthcare providers of St. Maarten, providing tailor-made care to a growing diversity of target groups
