WALTERBORO, S.C. (July 18, 2024) – Out of an abundance of caution following the loss of air conditioning facility-wide, Colleton Medical Center transferred inpatients to their sister HCA Healthcare facilities in the area.
Replacement units arrived on site on Sunday, July 14. Team Colleton worked in tandem with their larger HCA Healthcare network to cool, dehumidify, sanitize, and fully restock the facility to ensure the safety of patients, their families, and staff 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. They will also start to bring back patients who were transferred and still need hospitalization.
Elective surgical procedures will resume on Monday, July 22.
