Over 35 sites of care in South Carolina have rebranded under the HCA Healthcare name.
The Nashville, Tenn.-based health system said the new names will make it easier for patients to understand that the facilities, which have been part of HCA for decades, are connected.
“By consolidating under the HCA Healthcare name, we’re reinforcing our collective commitment to the communities we serve,” said Hugh Tappan, president of HCA Healthcare’s Charleston, S.C.-based South Atlantic Division, in an Oct. 14 news release. “For 50 years, our teams have served the people of Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester, and Colleton [S.C.] counties. We remain deeply rooted locally, while benefiting from the strength and capabilities of our broader system.”
The new hospital names include:
— Trident Medical Center (Charleston) becomes HCA Healthcare Trident Hospital.
— Summerville (S.C.) Medical Center becomes HCA Healthcare Summerville Hospital.
— Colleton Medical Center (Walterboro) becomes HCA Healthcare Colleton Hospital.
— Live Oak Mental Health and Wellness (Ladson) becomes HCA Healthcare Live Oak Mental Health and Wellness.
— Brighton Park Emergency (Summerville) becomes HCA Healthcare Brighton Park ER.
— Centre Pointe Emergency (North Charleston) becomes HCA Healthcare Centre Pointe ER.
— Moncks Corner (S.C.) Medical Center becomes HCA Healthcare Moncks Corner ER.
— James Island Emergency (Charleston) becomes HCA Healthcare James Island ER.
Physician practices and outpatient locations will take on the new branding in January.
