Hardeeville Celebrates Major Expansion in Healthcare Services with Novant Health Acquisition

Hardeeville Welcomes Exciting Health Care Changes!

Hey there, Hardeeville! Exciting news has just dropped that could shake things up in your healthcare experience! Novant Health, the friendly folks behind your local hospitals, have just expanded their horizons again. It turns out they have completed the acquisition of UCI Medical Affiliates, which means more access to urgent care and physical therapy right here in South Carolina!

What’s New?

As of November 4, Novant now swoops in as the largest urgent care provider in the state, bringing along with it 52 Doctors Care clinics and 20 Progressive Physical Therapy locations. Talk about a boost to healthcare around here! These clinics were previously under BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, and now they belong to Novant Health, allowing them to extend their fantastic services to even more communities across the region.

Making Healthcare Personal

Novant Health, rooted in Winston-Salem, N.C., isn’t just a healthcare provider—they are part of a four-state integrated network that boasts over 1,600 physicians and a whopping 29,000 employees across more than 640 locations. The company really knows how to bring a caring touch to healthcare, and you can feel that commitment right in your neighborhood!

Earlier this year, in February, Novant also hopped on board with the acquisition of Coastal Carolina Hospital in Hardeeville, Hilton Head Hospital, and East Cooper Medical Center in Charleston, along with 27 associated physician clinics. And they are not stopping there!

Support for Everyone

With this recent purchase, Novant is dedicated to boosting access to high-quality outpatient care for all South Carolinians. Carl S. Armato, the president and CEO of Novant Health, recently shared his excitement, saying, “The addition of our urgent care and physical therapy network enhances our ability to support patients across the state with their unexpected care needs and recovery from injuries.”

These clinics are staffed with nearly 200 physicians and advanced practice providers who are ready to lend a helping hand, ensuring you and your family receive top-notch care when you need it most.

More than Just Clinics

What’s even cooler? This growth in urgent care isn’t just about adding more clinics; it’s about building a comprehensive health care experience for you! For example, Novant Health has teamed up with Ochsner to create the Ochsner and Novant Health 65 Plus-Okatie program, catering specifically to the health-care needs of folks aged 65 and older. This facility opened its doors earlier this year on February 26 in Okatie, making sure seniors have access to the right care close to home.

A Dedication to Community

Healthcare is about connection and care! And Novant Health is all about it. You can rest easy knowing they provided over $1.6 billion in community benefits last year alone, covering everything from financial assistance to various essential services to support its communities across the Carolinas.

Looking Ahead

So, whether you’re looking for a quick check-up, need some physical therapy after an injury, or looking for your next doctor visit, Novant Health is ready to take care of you! In case you didn’t hear it before, Hardeeville—it’s a fantastic time to be part of this community with the healthcare options blossoming around us!

Stay tuned for more improvements as Novant Health continues to transform the way healthcare is delivered right here in your neighborhood!
