August 1, 2023

Becker’s Hospital Review recently recognized Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital in its 2023 list of Great Community Hospitals.

Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital is named among 153 “Great Community Hospitals” in the country and one of six hospitals recognized in South Carolina.

The publication selected hospitals to include in this list based on several outside rankings and ratings organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, CMS, The Leapfrog Group and The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital was specifically recognized for having:

A 24-hour full-service ED and helipad
Surgical services
Various outpatient rehab and care facilities
Full-service imaging, lab and ICU
A women’s breast care center, which provides patients with 3D mammography, breast ultrasound and bone density scanning

Becker’s wrote, “Community hospitals are vital pieces of the overall healthcare system, expanding care access to patients who might otherwise need to travel great distances or face other barriers to care.”
