In the fast-growing town of Bluffton, South Carolina, having reliable, high-quality medical care that fits a busy schedule is essential. Beaufort Memorial Express Care and Occupational Health – Bluffton serves as a cornerstone of the community’s healthcare infrastructure, offering a dual-purpose facility designed for both urgent medical needs and workplace health services.
Part of the award-winning Beaufort Memorial Hospital system, this facility bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room, providing accessible care seven days a week.
1. Express Care: Quality Treatment on Your Schedule
The “Express Care” side of the facility functions as a high-level urgent care center. It is designed to treat non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention but don’t necessarily warrant a trip to the ER.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Acute Illness: Flu, colds, sore throats, fevers, and earaches.
- Minor Injuries: Sprains, strains, minor fractures, lacerations (stitches), and contusions.
- Diagnostic Services: On-site X-ray and laboratory services allow for rapid diagnosis without the need to travel to a separate imaging center.
- Physicals: Walk-in availability for school, sports, and camp physicals.
Convenience Features:
- Online Check-In: To minimize time in the waiting room, patients can use the “Save My Spot” feature online to reserve a time from home.
- Integrated Records: If you already see a Beaufort Memorial physician, the Express Care team has instant access to your medical history, ensuring seamless and safe coordination of care.
2. Occupational Health: The “Well at Work” Program
Beyond urgent care, this location is a hub for Beaufort Memorial’s Well at Work program. It partners with local Lowcountry businesses to keep the workforce healthy, safe, and compliant with federal regulations.
Employer Services Include:
- Physical Exams: Specialized exams including Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals and pre-employment screenings.
- Testing & Screenings: Drug and alcohol testing (DOT and non-DOT), vision and hearing exams, and pulmonary function testing.
