EDGEFIELD COUNTY Healthcare

Healthcare in Edgefield County includes a wide range of specialty care as well as routine and emergency health care. Home health, hospice, personal care services and emergency transportation are well established. An exhaustive array of state-of-the art testing equipment and highly trained technicians ensure patients and physicians receive the right data to make informed diagnoses.

EDGEFIELD COUNTY HEALTHCARE Edgefield County Healthcare (ECH), a Critical Access Hospital, has now joined forces with Self Regional Healthcare as it continues to provide the great care that has been available for 47 years to the residents of Edgefield County.

Much more than a hospital, Edgefield County Healthcare now has direct access to many more specialty services, preventative services, and educational resources than ever before. While hospitals tend to care for the sick, healthcare systems are a more comprehensive approach to wellness and population health.

Housed in the new state-of-the-art 16,600 square-foot medical office building that Self Regional built in 2017 on the ECH campus, Family Healthcare Edgefield (FHC) provides Edgefield with primary care services and a rotation of specialists in the fields of cardiology, orthopedic and vascular services. Located in the same facility, Peach Tree Medical Center provides comprehensive and preventable healthcare for both adults and children by a team of Family Practice physicians and mid-level providers. In addition, Edgefield County Healthcare provides access to general surgery and podiatry.

On a weekly basis, mobile units, like the Mobile Mammography Unit and the Health Express, are bringing health screening services to convenient locations around the county. The Emergency Department at ECH is staffed by Family Practice physicians that are able to see patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It takes a team of associates to meet the medical needs of a growing community. The mission of Edgefield County Healthcare is “to provide quality and appropriate care to all people.” By joining forces with the team at Self Regional Healthcare, ECH is more prepared than ever to provide you and your loved ones with top notch care.

AIKEN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTERS Aiken Regional Medical Centers, located in Aiken, South Carolina, opened its doors in 1917 as the Aiken Hospital and Relief Society. Today, the hospital is a 273-bed acute care facility offering a comprehensive range of specialties and services.

Aiken Regional Medical Centers is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), a King of Prussia, PA-based company, that is one of the largest healthcare management companies in the nation.

Aiken Regional Medical Centers has been ranked a top hospital in South Carolina by the Carolina Center for Medical Excellence for its treatment of heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. The hospital has over 900 skilled healthcare/support professionals, a medical staff of more than 120 multi-specialty physicians, and a team of 230 volunteers keep us going with their dedication to excellence. Its “100K Lives” campaign was so successful that Aiken Regional was named a “Mentor Hospital” to teach other facilities how to get such good results. Residents of Aiken, Barnwell, and Edgefield counties named us the #1 and most caring hospital in the region. In fact, these same residents said Aiken Regional Medical Centers not only have the finest nursing staff, but also the best choice for emergency medical care, medical services, maternity, outpatient procedures and other services.

Aiken Regional Medical Centers performs more than 8,000 surgeries each year, delivers more than 1,100 babies annually and provides nearly 50 specialty services through its acute care facility, behavioral healthcare hospital and the Cancer Care Institute of Carolina.

PERSONAL CARE There are three family practice physician facilities; three dental and one eye care physician facilities in the county.

HOSPICE CARE

Hospice Care is devoted to helping patients remain alert and free of or in control of pain so quality time can be spent with their loved ones. Hospice doesn’t hasten or postpone death. In fact, if a patient’s condition improves, or the disease goes into remission, he or she can be discharged from the hospice program and restarted on standard therapies.

While hospice programs are tailored to each individual’s needs, they follow an interdisciplinary approach of care that may involve patients’ personal physicians, hospice physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, clergy, counselors, trained volunteers and, in some cases, physical and occupational therapists.

Each team member has his or her role: Physicians and nurses visit a patient’s home to make sure the medical care is appropriate and the patient stays comfortable. Home health aides see to it that personal care, such as meal preparation, bathing and dressing, is taken care of. Trained volunteers stay with the patient to give caregivers a break. The program also provides medical equipment, such as hospital beds, medical supplies and pain medicines. The team is available for the patient and family 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In hospital- Some individuals need a more intensive level of care that can only be provided in a hospital setting, thus allowing residents to be transferred to a hospital setting more easily if necessary.

Resident Council only - Resident and family councils can help communications with staff. Federal law requires nursing homes to allow councils to be set up by residents and families.
