Health

• Briland Premier Medical CenterA private family clinic run by Dr. Justin Albury, a friend of ours.

Nesbitt and Coconut Grove Streets.242-699-5451 · brilandpremier.com

For a serious emergency, a medical evacuation means leaving Harbour Island for Eleuthera and beyond. The clinics can help coordinate it, but it is a big undertaking, so travel insurance is smart.

Pets & animals

• Briland Animal RescueWhere to meet potcake puppies and island kittens and take one home with you. The rescue is always in need of donations and support.brilandanimalrescue.org · 242-553-5395
• The Harbour Island HorsesMeet the horses on the beach at Coral Sands and chat with Marty, who looks after them. He can set up a time for you to come back and ride, or sometimes fit you in on the spot. It is very informal, so rides cannot be booked far in advance.
