Pediatric Care
Primary Care
If your primary care doctor requests it, your hospitalist will take charge of your hospital care. He or she will regularly update your primary care doctor about your health, progress, and any significant findings. Your hospitalist will work with your primary care doctor to prepare a treatment plan at the time of admission. When you leave the hospital, your hospitalist will inform your primary care doctor of any further treatment needs, follow-up care, and necessary prescriptions.
Ear Infections
Myringotomy (ear tube placement) —This procedure treats ear infections by placing a small tube in the center of the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the area.
Family Practice
Memorial Health's family medicine education program will see patients at the new FQHC. Faculty physicians and more than 20 family medicine resident physicians will practice and work alongside the Coastal Community Health team to care for patients at the new location.
Emergency Care
Volunteers make an important contribution to our healthcare team. There are many areas throughout the hospital that rely on volunteers for assistance. They include the information desks, visitor management at secured access areas, non-clinical assistance in the emergency department, outpatient surgery and nursing stations, as well as clerical support areas such as greeters.
Colonoscopy
Our SPU team includes specially trained nurses, endoscopy technicians and anesthesia professionals. Patients may be referred to the SPU for a variety of procedures, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), esophageal and colonic dilation and colonoscopy.
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) —An ECG records and graphs the electrical signals in the heart. It is a painless test used to monitor how well your heart is beating.
Immunizations
Immunization helps save millions of lives every year. Whereas most medicines treat or cure diseases, vaccines can help prevent them by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you receive a vaccine, your immune system responds.

Internal Medicine
Hospitalists are internal medicine or family medicine physicians who specialize in caring for people in the hospital. They do not have outpatient practices. The hospitalists team at Memorial Health University Medical Center includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and a clinical support team.
Bladder Cancer
Cystourethroscopy —This diagnostic procedure uses a cytoscope, an endoscopic surgical tool, to examine the bladder and urinary tract. The surgeon looks for abnormal tissue, obstructions, tumors and stones. Sometimes, samples of bladder tissue may be removed to check for bladder cancer.
Ovarian Cancer
This first step after an ovarian cancer diagnosis is to asses the stage and spread of the cancer. Treatment involves removing the ovaries and other surrounding tissues.
Cervical Cancer
An abnormal Pap smear result does not necessarily mean that a woman has cervical cancer. It does suggest that a woman may have an infection or pre-cancerous lesion. Following an abnormal result, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics, repeat the test or move directly to a colposcopic evaluation (close evaluation of the cervix).
Endoscopy
Prostate Cancer
Prostatectomy —We offer partial and total prostatectomy surgery. During this procedure, all or part of the prostate gland is removed. A prostatectomy may be an option to treat prostate cancer.
Cancer Care
The specialists at Memorial Health understand the type of care women need access to. This is why we offer comprehensive labor and delivery services, breast cancer screenings, breast cancer care and gynecologic surgical options.
Lung Cancer

Behavioral Health
Coastal Community Health was founded in Brunswick, GA in 2014 and currently operates in six counties in southeast Georgia. The new Savannah FQHC will provide comprehensive healthcare services for underserved (uninsured or underinsured) patients including primary care, preventive health services, dental, behavioral health, and a 340-B discount pharmacy.

Endocrinologist

Diabetic Retinopathy
Pars plana vitrectomy —This is an outpatient procedure to remove the clouded vitreous (clear, jelly-like substance) in the eye and replace it with a salt solution to enhance vision. It can be beneficial in treating diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and holes in the retina.

Ultrasound
Echocardiogram (echo) —An echo is a specialized ultrasound that creates images of the heart and its movements. Doctors are able to see the heart in action and evaluate proper pumping function and structure. For more advanced imaging needs, a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) can be performed by inserting a probe down the esophagus.
Radiology
The child life internship experience consists of 600 hours of clinical time completed within a children’s hospital (A 16-week commitment at 40 hours a week). Child life internships are available during the winter/spring and fall semesters. Clinical rotations for the internship may include experiences within the following areas: general inpatient, hematology/ oncology, pediatric intensive care, surgery center, radiology, and outpatient services.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is often recommended after surgery for patients, except those with very early stage ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy treatment cycles are typically three to four weeks. It is recommended for most patients to receive six to eight cycles.
Radiation Therapy
Screening for breast cancer is a vital part of every women's healthcare plan. We perform 3D mammograms to help identify signs of breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. If you receive a breast cancer diagnosis, we are here with surgical treatments and specialized radiation therapy.

General Surgery
Memorial Health University Medical Center (MHUMC) in Savannah, Georgia, is a tertiary care and academic medical center serving a 35-county area in southeast Georgia and South Carolina. In addition to general medical and surgical services, MHUMC offers a variety of critical care specialty services, including the region's only Level 1 trauma center, tertiary critical care, cardiovascular critical care, neurocritical care, pediatric intensive care, and a 92-bed level III neonatal intensive care nursery. Our pharmacy team provides optimal pharmaceutical care to patients around the clock.
Joint Replacement
Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves treating diseases or injuries by adjusting or removing organs, tissues or bones. Surgery includes both necessary procedures like cardiac surgery, or elective procedures such as joint replacement.
Orthopedic Surgery
Robotic Surgery
Hysterectomy
Reconstructive Surgery
For women who undergo a mastectomy, we offer breast reconstructive surgery. This allows women to maintain a natural breast appearance after the removal of breast tissue during breast cancer treatment.

Plastic Surgeons

Breast Augmentation
Our surgeons also perform breast augmentation (mammaplasty) to change the appearance of the breasts. This may include inserting breast implants, removing breast implants, breast reduction and a lift. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic, often elective, procedure that requires major surgery and the skills of a plastic surgeon.
Breast Reduction
Plastic Surgery
Our plastic surgery team specializes in multiple forms of breast surgery. Patients with a breast cancer diagnosis may undergo breast reconstructive surgery after surgical treatment, such as a mastectomy. Our surgeons specialize in rebuilding natural-looking breasts that closely match the form, appearance and symmetry of the natural breast.
