We are better together. That’s why AnMed partners with leading institutions and organizations.
That’s why AnMed partners with leading institutions and organizations. More abilities, more services, more access, more convenience and less cost are provided to Upstate South Carolina and northeast Georgia thanks to our collaborations.
AnMed has partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) since 2014, when we became the first branch campus of the Charleston-based medical school. This collaboration has grown to connect the health systems of the South Carolina Upstate and Lowcountry, expanding clinical and educational opportunities.
The affiliation gives you access to leading treatments, including cardiothoracic services and other procedures not available elsewhere in the area. It also provides 24/7 virtual care. The partnership helps lower costs, improve access, and attract top physicians to the region.
We also developed MUSC Health Transplant - Anderson, a clinic that makes kidney transplant care more convenient for Upstate residents. Patients can now receive pre-surgery and post-surgery care close to home, making preparation, treatment, and recovery easier and more comfortable.
To provide top-level care for NCAA athletes, AnMed has expanded its long-standing partnership with Anderson University with the AnMed Sports Medicine Center on the college’s athletic campus. The center treats all Anderson University student-athletes and supports our sports medicine fellowship program. This routine and specialized care also helps us deliver premier orthopedic medicine and sports medicine services to patients of all ages.
AnMed provides clinical rotations for nursing students, giving them hands-on experience and access to our electronic health records system, thanks to a partnership with Epic Systems. Other joint programs with Anderson University include the Anderson University Center for Cancer Research and access to laboratories where physicians can practice the latest techniques and procedures.
AnMed partners with Elite Integrated Therapy Centers to provide outpatient therapy at AnMed Integrated Therapy practices across the region. Elite Integrated Therapy Centers manages operations to provide physical, occupational and speech therapy and help people live life to the fullest.
AnMed and Elite Integrated Therapy Centers provide residency and fellowship programs to train therapists and expand access, and the partners have joined forces with Tri-County Technical College to develop a new Physical Therapy Assistant program.
AnMed partners with Select Medical to bring Regency Hospital – Upstate to Anderson. This hospital provides care for patients recovering from serious illnesses at a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH). LTACHs specialize in treating patients who need ongoing inpatient care beyond a standard hospital stay.
Thanks to this partnership, you no longer have to travel outside the area to receive the specialized care you need.
AnMed partners with Encompass Health to bring inpatient rehabilitation to Anderson. At AnMed Rehabilitation Hospital, you can recover from stroke, brain injury, hip fracture and other complex conditions with care from a team of physicians, nurses, therapists, dietitians and pharmacists.
Our team works together to help you reach your personal recovery goals while staying close to home.
AnMed works with many clinical, educational and community partners to improve care for everyone. We founded Piedmont Health Partners with the medical community to lower costs, improve health, enhance the patient experience, and increase provider satisfaction. This network of physicians, providers, and facilities coordinates and manages care across the full continuum for patient populations.
Based in Greenwood, AnMed and Self Regional Healthcare created Upstate Health Partners to better manage rising costs and provide greater value to South Carolina. This partnership allows the two not-for-profit health systems to operate more efficiently and build economies of scale. These efforts benefit Upstate residents through investments in technology, new services, and specialized expertise.
Our commitment to expanding healthcare access shows in our innovative programs. The Quick Response Vehicle program, run with Anderson County and MedShore, is one example. Staffed by paramedics, it delivers fast emergency care to rural residents. Our joint ventures at AnMed ENT - Anderson and Upstate Gastroenterology bring high-quality specialty care to the local community.
We also support the Upstate through donations, contributions, and sponsorships. Partners like the Anderson Free Clinic, United Way of Anderson County, and the Cancer Association of Anderson help improve lives every day. Nurse training and scholarship programs at Tri-County Technical College strengthen the healthcare workforce. Read more about all our partnerships in our Annual Report.
