From staff reports
Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has acquired Island Imaging, an independent imaging center on Hilton Head Island. The center will reopen as Beaufort Memorial Island Imaging on October 1, 2023.
While upgrades to align IT infrastructure and equipment to the BMH network will be taking place prior to the transition, imaging patient appointments will continue as normal, with the same services offered, including 3D mammography, CT, ultrasound, fluoroscopy and bone densitometry.
Island Imaging opened at 40 Palmetto Parkway on Hilton Head Island in 2013 and has been accredited by the American College of Radiology for CT, 3D mammography and screening chest CT for lung cancer. The center’s radiologists, David Estle, M.D., and Patricia Shapiro, M.D., will continue through the transition. All 15 of the imaging center’s employees have been offered positions to continue in their same role at the center with Beaufort Memorial.
“Beaufort Memorial’s dedication to patient-centered care and commitment to the overall health and well-being of the community makes them a perfect fit for the future of Island Imaging,” Dr. Shapiro, one of Island Imaging’s founding physicians, said in a news release. “Our staff is excited to join the team of one of the nation’s top hospitals and have access to the depth of resources that brings.”
