While the information provided here is intended to better inform our community about the award-winning services that we offer, I encourage you to visit our facility to learn firsthand why East Cooper Medical Center is such a unique provider of healthcare services.

East Cooper Medical Center was originally established in 1986 to care for the residents East of the Cooper. While that remains our primary mission, our expanded scope of services, our commitment to quality & safety, and our outstanding team of caregivers have attracted patients from throughout the Lowcountry and beyond. East Cooper Medical Center has been named a Watson Top 100 hospital by IBM, recognized by US News and World Report, and has maintained the highest patient satisfaction ratings for 16 consecutive years within Tenet Healthcare nationwide. These awards are an example of our unwavering commitment to quality. We also have the privilege of providing care in a new, state-of-the-art facility that is rich in technology.

Our team is honored that you are considering entrusting us with your care, and we understand that you are very likely coming to us at a time when you are vulnerable.
