Our History:

• Hilton Head Hospital was built in 1974 and opened its doors in 1975 as a private, nonprofit, 40-bed, accredited medical facility.

• HCA Management and Quorum Health Resources, Inc. managed the hospital until 1994, at which time General Partner - Tenet Physician Services, and Limited Partner - Amisub (Hilton Head) Inc., acquired ownership.

• Renamed Hilton Head Medical Center and Clinics, the hospital is currently certified for 93 acute care beds.
• The main campus is comprised of three connecting buildings â_" the LaMotte Building, the Main Hospital Building, and the Medical Pavilion.
• The south campus houses the Physical Rehabilitation Clinic, Hilton Head Sports Medicine, the Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic, and physician offices.
• The Bluffton-Okatie Outpatient Center contains an urgent care center, outpatient surgery, radiology, laboratory, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, retail pharmacy, and physician offices.

Our diagnostic cardiac catheterization is being used for cardiac and peripheral catheterizations with stent insertions and emergency myocardial infarction angioplasties.

We have an extensive program with hip and knee replacements and rotator cuff surgeries. With our demographics focusing increasingly on a very active senior population that plays golf and tennis and bicycles all year long, our orthopaedic surgeons are kept busy with these procedures. They pride themselves in staying abreast of advanced procedures for continued success with our active population.

Our ophthalmologists are performing some of the latest surgeries for nearsightedness, including LASIK surgery, radial keratonomy, and photorefractive keratectomy. These procedures are in addition to the cataract surgeries and pediatric ophthalmology provided by our hospital.

Our Physical Rehabilitation Clinic is located on the South Campus. Services provided include physical therapy, occupational therapy, pediatric therapy, aquatic therapy, speech language therapy, hand therapy, and work hardening programs affiliated with our Occupational Medicine/Employee Health program. The rehabilitation staff strives to insure that the rehabilitation programs provide the utmost opportunity for ambulation, range of motion, and recovery for our patients.
