The best way to avoid West Nile virus, which is primarily spread by mosquitoes, is to take precautions. Wear long sleeves and light-colored clothing, and use bug spray with DEET. Charleston has two confirmed cases of West Nile virus in patients hospitalized at Roper St. Francis Healthcare. Both patients suffered a rare and more serious form of the illness and are recovering. https://bit.ly/4d0IjsQ

Local artist Charles DeAntonio unveiled a painting of the Charleston skyline, which he generously donated to Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital. “I’m grateful for Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital for allowing me to come here to paint,” DeAntonio said. “I hope this work brings joy to whoever visits this space.” The painting, created as part of our Arts in Medicine program, will be displayed in the hospital’s lobby, where DeAntonio spent over four hours every Tuesday for six weeks painting the piece.

After Roper Hospital’s planned relocation to North Charleston in 2029, Roper St. Francis Healthcare will continue to serve the downtown community, where we've been caring for patients since the 1850s. We are exploring locations to maintain our presence on the peninsula. “We are going to make sure that we have areas that are convenient for peninsula residents,” said Dr. Megan Baker, chief operating officer for Roper St. Francis Healthcare. “We aim to serve (downtown) with a level of convenience and accessibility, like in any other neighborhood. We always try and make it a short drive time to our ambulatory services.” https://lnkd.in/ebC46jVs
