A celebration and a time for reflection - We recognized the three Berkeley County Emergency Medical Services - EMS first responders who provided the department’s first pre-hospital blood transfusion to a patient who had suffered a life-threatening trauma.

The patient survived largely due to the new program approved by Berkeley County Government, which allows blood transfusion to be given while a person is being taken to a hospital via ambulance.

This is good news considering Berkeley County, SC covers more square miles than the state of Rhode Island. Learn more at https://berkeleycountysc.gov/berkeley-countys-ems-whole-blood-program-already-saving-lives/

Stories of last words, last days and last gifts often evoke a lot of emotions and thoughts. We think the prayer offered by our Director of Spiritual Care & Outreach Rev.

And, we thank our friends at Sharing Hope SC for the important work they do. Learn more about becoming an organ donor at https://www.sharinghopesc.org/.

He knew he wanted to marry her the first day he met her. Ten years after that first meeting and graduating from high school, college, and for James enlistment into the United States Air Force , they got married.

Our Story

The heart of Trident Health is found in our more than 3,000 employees. Pictured are members of our Trident Breast Care Center team who daily care for, comfort and encourage women in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. We are motivated to serve. Driven to compassionately provide the highest quality of care. And reminded daily of our mission - Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.

More than half of South Carolina’s Lowcountry residents live in Trident Health’s primary market. To our more than 700,000 friends and neighbors in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester Counties “thank you” for allowing us to care for you.

This year we celebrate 45 years of providing acute healthcare services to families in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Services are provided through our two acute care hospitals, Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center; two freestanding emergency departments, Moncks Corner Medical Center and Centre Pointe Emergency; and two urgent care centers, CareNow Urgent Care - Goose Creek and CareNow Urgent Care - North Charleston. In July 2020 we will open our third freestanding emergency department - Brighton Park ER, which is located near the entrance to Nexton.

Both Trident and Summerville Medical Centers have received top ranking as Joint Commission Top Hospitals for Quality Performance and are Joint Commission Certified for Advanced Heart Failure and Advanced Primary Stroke Centers. Trident Medical Center is also a Trauma Center. Our trauma specialists cared for more than 2,000 trauma patients in 2019.
