Colleton Medical Center resumes inpatient services
Waterboro, SC – Out of an abundance of caution following the loss of air conditioning facility-wide, Colleton Medical Center transferred inpatients to our sister HCA Healthcare facilities in the area.
Replacement units arrived on site on Sunday, July 14. Team Colleton worked in tandem with our larger HCA Healthcare network to cool, dehumidify, sanitize, and fully restock the facility to ensure the safety of our patients, their families, and our colleagues before returning to normal operations.
Imaging, respiratory, and lab services resumed normal operations at 7 am today, Thursday, July 18.
Inpatient services will resume normal operations at noon today, Thursday, July 18. We will also start to bring back patients who were transferred and still need hospitalization.
Elective surgical procedures will resume on Monday, July 22.
