Roper St. Francis Healthcare CEO Dr. Jeffrey DiLisi said: “This new medical campus will be a paradigm for providing healthcare, whether that’s complex surgeries in a hospital or an annual checkup in an outpatient office.
“We made the bold decision one year ago to move Roper Hospital, and I’m grateful to our North Charleston partners for breathing life into this dream. This new campus will ensure our ability to continue delivering the quality care that’s been the hallmark of our brand for generations.”
The new Roper Hospital Medical Campus is expected to feature a full-service acute care hospital with a 24-hour emergency room.
It will also have a medical office building with a host of outpatient and specialty care services.
