MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) – A new medical building is being constructed in the Lowcountry, located directly across from East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant.
Thomas Hayden, East Cooper Medical Center’s chief strategy officer, said the two-story, 40,000-square-foot medical facility will be called the Center for Women’s Health.

We continue that tradition by caring for all women at various stages of their lives. ” of their lives. ”
