In modernizing its facilities to accommodate future healthcare needs, Self Regional Healthcare undertook a series of complex renovation projects which streamlined work flows, improved patient care, facilitated wayfinding, and reduced operational costs. The first phase of work created a Support Service Center near the main hospital. Subsequent projects relocated the main electrical/switchboard rooms, cysto room/OR storage space, employee pharmacy, administrative flex space, and endoscopy suite. These moves created room for a new Non-Invasive Cardiology Services/Patient access area near the patient entrances or better outpatient access and staff flow to surgery. A new bridge connection between a patient tower and main hospital improved staff circulation, and a cafeteria and gift shop relocation improved access for staff, visitors, and the public.

The new design also created new facades for the east and west towers, and will allow the demolition of the outdated “Old Main” hospital. DHEC oversight was an integral part of the design and building process.
