We are committed to providing a safe, clean and healthy environment for our patients, staff and volunteers.

Security

Security staff at Carolina Pines monitors the hospital and all parking areas 24 hours a day. If your visitors wish to be escorted to their car after dark, they may call security at 843.339.4767 or the hospital operator to request assistance from an officer.

Infection Control

Providing a safe environment for you and our staff is the top priority at Carolina Pines. To prevent the spread of infectious illnesses, you may be asked to wear a mask when leaving the room or to keep your door closed. Signs may be placed on your door to direct visitors to take additional precautions when entering the room. If you have any questions regarding infection control practices, talk to your nurse or call 843.339.4660

List of Your Medicines

In order for us to provide the best in patient safety, it will be necessary for you to come to the hospital with a list of all the medicines you take at home.  This list needs to include prescription medications your doctor has written for you, medicines that you buy without a prescription, vitamins and any herbal remedies you are taking.  This can be a written list or your bottles of medicine.
