Creating a Systemwide Master Plan to Usher in a New Era

Roper St. Francis Healthcare, the largest healthcare system in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, spans three counties and over a hundred facilities, forming a legacy that extends back over a century and a half.

E4H worked with market strategy consultant Capital Healthcare Planning (CHP) and Roper St. Francis Healthcare to create a systemwide master plan for ushering those facilities into a new era.

The team’s three-pronged approach of data analysis, facility assessment, and stakeholder engagement has yielded a set of design priorities that are guiding a value-based expansion of the system’s network of care, including the construction of a new flagship campus in North Charleston.
