The Mental Health Access Gap in Goose Creek, SC

Goose Creek is Berkeley County's largest city and home to a significant military population connected to the Naval Weapons Station at Joint Base Charleston. Mental health and primary care provider access in Goose Creek has not kept pace with its size or its military community's needs. Our West Ashley office is approximately 25 minutes from Goose Creek — accessible for in-person visits that benefit from face-to-face contact, with telehealth for everything else.

Telehealth has substantially changed what is available to Goose Creek and Berkeley County residents. South Carolina law authorizes licensed providers to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe via telehealth anywhere in the state. Access to a qualified mental health prescriber is now a phone or computer call away, with appointments available in days rather than months.
