Local healthcare landscape in Hilton Head Island
Novant Health Hilton Head Medical Center describes itself as serving communities from Hilton Head Island to Bluffton, and says it joined the Novant Health system in February 2024 after formerly being part of Tenet Health. Its services page lists 24/7 emergency services, heart and vascular, orthopedics, stroke and surgery, with affiliated clinics beyond the main hospital. The town organizes the areas beyond its planned communities into planning districts, with draft district plans for Bridge to Beach, Forest Beach, Marshes and Skull Creek. Its Historic Gullah Neighborhoods page says these neighborhoods were established in the late 1860s and are clustered together on the north end of the island, and it lists Mitchelville, Spanish Wells, Squire Pope, Jonesville, Chaplin, Big Stoney and Little Stoney.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner. They are also kind, flexible and seem to care about my business and success which is important to me as a new small business owner. Looking forward to growing with them!
