Reasons for starting the Healthcare Facility
Community Need
South Carolina is a well organized rural state with a large number of populations of the elderly and the young. The population is approximated to be over 674, 000 people. The facility is expected to accommodate the whole population. In South Carolina, there is a trend of increasing number of elderly people who need care services. These people are subjected to illness that should be treated in time. This would be solved once the hospital is in operation.
The hospital that is currently available is located far away in the town center. There are always delays that might result to death of a patient if not timely attended to because of delays in the highway traffic jam. The highway, connecting the locals to the hospital experiences numerous accidents. Therefore, the populous risk loosing their lives on their way to the hospital. Thirdly, there is an increase in patients’ dissatisfaction; the current healthcare in town is overwhelmed with patients number (Wolper, 2004).
The city hospital Doctors lament because of the large number of patients. It is indeed essential to live a healthy and pain free life. With healthy people, operations of daily endeavors are set to be positive; there would be increased satisfaction in the South Carolina state on matters of medication. The hospital will create employment to the people of South Carolina. The Employment created will improve the living standards of the locals.
A large number of professionals; nurses, doctors, and compliant operations specialists come from the rural of South Carolina.

In order to bring immeasurable services, this facility should be able to provide the following.
