HopeHealth and HopeHealth Pediatrics are switching offices in Manning.
The move began Wednesday and should conclude Friday.
"With renovations underway and an office switch planned, we have placed ourselves in a better position to provide comprehensive quality health care services addressing social, emotional and physical needs for the entire family," said Manning site Director Falecia Miller.
The expansion will provide more efficient care services for patients and better utilize the facilities. Both sites are receiving a facelift as part of the relocation process and, once complete, will include:
· Seating arrangements for 40+ patients in the waiting area for both locations
· Family practice office will increase exam room capacity per provider by at least 1-2 exam rooms even when all five providers are on site
· Two additional exam rooms will be available for the expansion of special services in Clarendon County to include substance and domestic abuse, medication assistance program, pregnancy education and prevention services for unplanned pregnancies
Elements incorporated into the plan also include:
· Shared security services for both offices
· The launch of a tween initiative for the adolescent population (ages 12-16) in the pediatrics office, to include a designated teen waiting room
· Expansion of Women's Health Services to include prenatal care up to 20 weeks gestation
· The opportunity to become involved in the South Carolina Reproductive Health Initiative Cohort Group 3
· Continuation of the newborn waiting room - a designated area for newborns less than 2-3 weeks of age
Offices at both practices will reopen Monday, according to a release. Patients needing prompt assistance are asked to call and speak to the answering service. For HopeHealth Pediatrics, call (803) 433-4124; for HopeHealth, call (803) 433-4321.
