Dr. Rami Zebian, chief medical officer of MUSC Health Florence and Marion Medical Centers
As MUSC Health leaders began to plan for the onslaught of COVID-19, they thought that Charleston would see the highest increases in hospitalizations in South Carolina. Instead, some of MUSC Health’s regional hospitals, acquired just over 15 months ago, have been the hardest hit. MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, for example, has one-fourth the patient census of MUSC Health Charleston but four times the number of COVID-19 cases.
Fortunately, from the beginning, MUSC Health opted to take a “systems” approach to COVID-19, according to Rami C. Zebian, M.D., chief medical officer of MUSC Health Florence and Marion Medical Centers.
