For the Media

Roper St. Francis Healthcare is the Lowcountry’s only not-for-profit healthcare system, and we are the leading provider of adult healthcare in the region. We care for the community in our four flagship hospitals – Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in West Ashley, Roper Hospital downtown and Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital in East Cooper and Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital in Summerville – as well as in more than 100 additional facilities throughout the Lowcountry.

Our Team

The Corporate Communications team is eager to respond to media inquiries and to show how Roper St. Francis Healthcare is committed to its mission of healing all people with compassion, faith and excellence.

We ask that all media inquiries are directed to the Corporate Communications staff.

This applies to all situations, such as requests to photograph or video on Roper St. Francis Healthcare property, conduct phone interviews or obtain statements from administrators, patients, staff members or physicians.
