We are excited to announce the topping out of the Roper St. Francis Healthcare - Berkeley Campus Expansion in Summerville, SC! Last Friday, May 17th, the Roper Saint Francis - Berkeley Campus expansion project marked a major milestone with the event that was attended by over 250 people, including members of the Rodgers team, trade partners, Roper St. Francis board members, and staff.

The final beam was placed atop the Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital expansion project on Friday, a significant milestone that shows the community just how the hospital is growing to meet the needs of the surrounding community. The expansion project will double the number of beds from 50 to 100 and add 200,000 square feet of new or renovated space to the existing 116,000-square-foot facility. The expansion is on track to be finished in 2026 and will include more space in the Emergency Room, which will reduce waiting times and improve overall patient experience. The project also includes the expansion of Cardiac, Orthopaedics and Obstetrics services. The expansion also allows for inpatient dialysis services in addition to new features at the Medical Office Building, so patients can receive vital care close to home.
