Cochrane Heart Center
Why partner with Duke?
Duke is internationally known as a leading academic medical
center. Consistently ranked among the top cancer and heart
treatment centers by U.S. News & World Report,
Duke is the top rated center for both services in the Southeast.
Duke has extensive research and educational capabilities, which will provide Beaufort clinicians with access to new procedures and protocols. Duke also has a long history of partnering with community hospitals with the expectation that such affiliations result in more patients receiving their care at home, rather than traveling out of their communities.
Duke also acknowledges that affiliations such as this provide them with experience with a broader base of patients, physicians and medical practices, all of which improves their ability to stay at the forefront of medical knowledge.
Beaufort Memorial Hospital represents Duke’s first affiliation in South Carolina and the second outside the state of North Carolina.
