Health care is a complicated
network of hospitals, doctors, nurses,
therapists and other professionals. But
one hospital East of the Cooper is
designed to be more accessible, a part of
the community and a place where health care is simplified
for residents.

Hospital is setting a new standard. A spacious facility
located in the northern part of Mount Pleasant, patients
and visitors are greeted by the sound of quiet, which belies
the bustle of activity in the emergency room, surgical
suites and birthing suites. It is peaceful and calming,
helping to reduce the anxiety many feel when they step
foot in a hospital.
The staff is a finely tuned collection of professionals
who work in sync with each other, much as the
musicians in a symphony orchestra strive for that perfect
