Available positions include registered nurses, X-Ray technologists and patient access representatives.
Called ER at Sweetwater, the facility is being built near the intersection of Austin Graybill Road and Market Plaza Drive in the area of North Augusta commonly referred to as “Exit Five” due to its location off Interstate 20 in South Carolina.
The facility will be 11,000 square feet and will be staffed with fulltime physicians. It will have private exam rooms with radiology and laboratory services on-site. It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and a physician will always be on staff.
After receiving initial treatment there, if the patient needs to be transported to a hospital, the patient will choose where to go, either to Aiken Regional or to one of the hospitals in Augusta.
