Participants had the opportunity to tour the facility and meet the healthcare teams that will serve the community.

The new clinic offers a variety of medical specialties, including:

- General and bariatric surgery
With these diverse services, the clinic aims to enhance healthcare accessibility for Beaufort residents, alleviating the need for patients to travel long distances for specialized care.
Community leaders see the opening of the clinic as a significant step in addressing the growing healthcare demands in the area, spurred by a rising population. Alongside Novant Health, Beaufort Memorial Hospital is also expanding its healthcare offerings, with ongoing construction of a medical office building at Okatie Crossing. This facility will house a full-service cancer center developed in partnership with the Medical University of South Carolina Health and Alliance Oncology, as well as various outpatient services, imaging capabilities, and a breast health center.
The increasing medical facilities in Beaufort reflect a broader trend of healthcare expansion. In recent years, Novant Health has integrated over 1,600 physicians and more than 29,000 employees across 640 locations in four states. This expansion includes the acquisition of several medical facilities and physician clinics, which is part of a larger strategy to promote accessible healthcare in multiple communities.
Local healthcare providers have expressed optimism regarding the new multispecialty clinic, emphasizing that the community’s long-standing demand for more extensive care is being met. For instance, Dr. Neil McDevitt, a bariatric surgeon, announced that he would extend his practice to the new facility to better address the needs of Beaufort residents.
The grand opening of Novant Health’s clinic is poised to make a significant impact not only by providing essential medical services but also by generating new job opportunities in the region. As clinic representatives noted, the emphasis on coordinated care close to home is likely to enhance the overall health and well-being of the local population.
As Beaufort continues to grow, medical institutions like Novant Health and Beaufort Memorial Hospital are responding to the needs of their communities. With healthcare access becoming increasingly vital, the establishment of these facilities represents a pivotal move toward improving the quality of life for residents.
