Psychiatric care for Summerville, SC

Summerville is a town of about 55,000 that spans Dorchester, Berkeley and Charleston counties, known as the Flowertown in the Pines for its azaleas and historic district of 19th-century summer homes. It has grown into one of the fastest-growing suburbs in South Carolina, with new subdivisions such as Cane Bay and Nexton drawing families from across the country, many connected to Joint Base Charleston, the Boeing and Volvo plants, and the Charleston medical community. Summerville Medical Center and a growing network of outpatient practices serve the area, and the population mixes long-time residents, young families and military retirees.
