Hilton Head Island is set to welcome a new hybrid emergency room and urgent care facility called Beaufort Memorial Emergency & Urgent Care. Collaboration between Beaufort Memorial, Intuitive Health, and MUSC Health will enhance healthcare services for residents. Located conveniently at 1016 William Hilton Parkway, the facility aims to provide 24/7 access to medical care, improving the overall healthcare experience in the growing community. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2025, with an opening anticipated in winter 2025.
Hilton Head Island, known for its stunning beaches and vibrant community, is about to get even better when it comes to healthcare. In a groundbreaking announcement made on January 6, 2025, Beaufort Memorial, collaborating with Intuitive Health and MUSC Health, revealed plans for a brand-new hybrid emergency room and urgent care facility. This facility, which will be called Beaufort Memorial Emergency & Urgent Care, is set to become one of the first hybrid facilities of its kind in South Carolina, and residents are buzzing with anticipation.
As the population on Hilton Head Island continues to grow, the need for expanded healthcare services has become increasingly clear. Beaufort Memorial’s President and CEO, Russell Baxley, stressed the importance of enhancing care options in southern Beaufort County. With the new facility, patients will experience an improved overall healthcare experience, gaining easier access to both emergency and urgent care services. This is a huge win for the community!
The facility will be conveniently located at 1016 William Hilton Parkway, right at the southern end of Hilton Head Island. This prime spot will make it easier for residents and visitors alike to seek medical attention when they need it the most. The facility is set to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so whether it’s a late-night emergency or a weekend mishap, help will always be available.
So, what can you expect when you walk through the doors of Beaufort Memorial Emergency & Urgent Care? The facility will be packed with state-of-the-art amenities that mirror a traditional hospital emergency room. It will be fully equipped and staffed by emergency-trained, board-certified physicians and nurses, ensuring that every patient is in the best hands possible.
One of the standout features of this hybrid facility is its ability to accommodate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) right on-site. Ambulances will have direct access to drop off patients, making the whole process smoother and more efficient for those in need.
At Beaufort Memorial Emergency & Urgent Care, every patient will be seen by an experienced physician trained in emergency medicine. If you walk in with a health concern that doesn’t require emergency-level care, you’ll be treated with urgent care services instead. And not to worry—billing will be based on the level of care needed. This means that whether it’s an emergency or a minor issue, you’re only paying for what you need!
For those eager to see the new facility come to life, construction is expected to break ground in the spring of 2025. With an anticipated opening slated for winter 2025, the countdown is officially on! This development promises to make healthcare more accessible and convenient for everyone on the island.
The partnership between Beaufort Memorial, Intuitive Health, and MUSC Health underscores the growing commitment to ensuring that Hilton Head Island residents receive quick and effective medical care. As Patrick J. Cawley of MUSC Health noted, having quick access to quality care is essential, especially when health concerns arise suddenly. This facility will fulfill that need and then some.
This new hybrid emergency room and urgent care facility is not just a win for healthcare—it’s a win for the entire community. With this expansion in services, Hilton Head Island is poised to continue thriving as a healthy, vibrant community where residents can feel secure about their healthcare options. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the opening day!
