Upstate Carolina Medical Center is Cherokee County's hometown hospital, providing quality healthcare with one-on-one compassion. Owned by Health Management Associates of Florida, Upstate Carolina has been the community's primary source of healthcare for the past 12 years, when the county sold the hospital to private business. The hospital offers a wide range of services, including Occupational Medicine, a Women's Center, acute care, outpatient surgery, EMS, 24-hour emergency department, laboratory, and radiology. In 2001, the hospital changed its logo and adopted a new mission statement. The blue and gray logo incorporates a "swoosh", creating a strong graphic message of never-ending slef-improvement. The hospital's new mission is "A Higher Medical Standard."
