“We are thrilled for the Phase 1 of this project to be complete, and to open up all 29 patient beds to our community,” said Julia Malone, Director of the 2nd Floor Medical/Surgical Unit. “The unit was designed with our patients and their comfort in mind. We transformed the unit with soothing wall colors, new flooring, 55” Apple TVs, Lowcountry-focused artwork, and more to make our patients feel comfortable and at home while in our care.”
Next spring, Phase 2 of the renovation will begin in the 3rd Floor Medical/Surgical Unit. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
