Hospitals and health systems in South Carolina comprise a powerful economic engine that’s generating prosperity and job growth as well as health and wellness. A new report shows the state’s hospitals deliver a whopping $36.75 billion in total economic impact. That makes potential cuts to Medicaid reimbursement risky.
There were challenges before the achievement as a freestanding emergency department prepared to open for service in Piedmont, South Carolina. It’s the first operational wing on a health care campus that will ultimately include physical therapy and providers in primary care and more than 10 specialties. Community investment and collaboration made it happen.
Advancements and new developments in technology and techniques lead directly and almost instantly to benefits in patient health.
That’s starkly apparent in the battle against lung cancer, one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
South Carolina’s rate of new lung cancer cases is significantly higher than the national average.
But there is hope, and that is growing, thanks to new innovations.
Two resident physicians and AnMed’s director of nursing got their start in the health system as young volunteers. They gave time, energy and attention without expectation of compensation, but they did receive something valuable, and its effects linger to this day.
Genetics play a vital role in the fate of our health, but no one’s health care should be solely determined by the social or economic circumstances in which they were born. That’s why we’re acting. And we’re proud that our efforts have won national praise.
Adoptions within the U.S. and internationally have declined in recent years, but that doesn’t mean the need for adoptions is declining. The act of a couple or a person raising someone else’s biological child as their own is a beautiful thing. It takes sacrifice, but it reaps wonderful rewards, and AnMed teammates have firsthand experience on both sides of the family dynamic.
Inflation isn’t the only thing that’s impacting patients’ financial dealings in health care. Trends are troubling. But work is being done to ease that burden. Samantha Evans, director of business services at AnMed, and a group of local high school students led by Grace Wang, Kaylee Jacobson and Maleeha Khan-Niazi are among those who are stepping up. For more information on the students’ efforts, visit healthfirstalways.org.
Something didn’t seem quite right when Paige Fuhrer and Lori White studied one particular blood culture recently. So they went beyond the norm and helped make a rare find for a young, autistic, non-verbal girl. And that made all the difference.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
