Health Care and Real Estate on Hilton Head Island,SC
The health care services available on Hilton Head Island were brought to light at the monthly Realtors’ luncheon held at Palmetto Hall Clubhouse. President and CEO, Mark O’Neil presented an update and addressed concerns brought by his interested audience. An important selling point of the lifestyle of Hilton Head Island as well as in Bluffton, SC and Okatie, depends on the availability of strong medical services. It was interesting to note the economic contribution that the hospital makes both from just the taxes they pay as a business but also the revenue that is created due to the businesses that depend on the hospital for their own livelihood (pharmacies, technicians, hotels, etc.)
Mr. O’Neil discussed his goals as the head administrator having been on the job for only six months. There have been numerous physicians added to the permanent staff of this for-profit hospital. As part of the Tenet Health Care system, Hilton Head Hospital, Coastal Carolina Medical Center, and Okatie Outpatient Center, have a commitment to our area. Mr. O’Neil mentioned that for such a relatively small population center, the local health care services within the hospital are very extensive. The cardiology department, gastro-intestinal department, as well as the emergency room is strongly staffed and equipped with all of the latest diagnostic equipment.
There are other ‘well’ options to interact with the hospital as well; community and civic groups are often invited to hold a health fair and there are numerous mobile labs to facilitate.
Altogether, the Realtors gained much knowledge. It’s just another reason that the lifestyle on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and Okatie is so popular.
Come……live!
