By Land Or Sea

If you have been here long, you have heard someone use the tagline, "Wherever You Call Home." That is not just a tagline; we mean it. Recently our Grand Strand Team received a call from a case manager from a hospital near Georgetown. The case manager worked on a discharge plan for a patient who needed help going home. The big problem she was dealing with was that this patient lived on Sandy Island, about 30 minutes via boat off Georgetown's coast. Naturally, our Grand Strand team accepted the challenge from this hospital case manager and began to figure out a way to get to this patient care after her discharge. The team let the case manager know that we are all set, have access to a boat, and will begin seeing her at home. For the last few months, Kristi Miller, APRN, has been making regular boat rides so that this patient would get the care she needed WHEREVER SHE CALLED HOME, even if the home was an island with only boat access. Kristi has even found other required support agencies willing to take the boat ride to the patient. We are all healthcare problem solvers, and by working together, there are no problems that we cannot solve for the communities we live and serve. Great job, Grand Strand Team!
