SUMMERVILLE, S.C.–Summerville Medical Center and the Coastal Carolina Bariatric Center have earned national distinction as a comprehensive Bariatric Center of Excellence by the American College of Surgeons (ACS).

In addition to this distinction, the Coastal Carolina Bariatric Center has also been recognized among the more than 600 practices within the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) as the number one HCA Physician Services practice in patient satisfaction for three consecutive years.
