South Carolina and adventure go hand in hand. Golf, hiking, fishing, and beach walking are among the state’s top outdoor draws, while its cities and towns woo visitors and residents alike with unmatched southern charm. MedPro is committed to keeping this beautiful state clean with South Carolina medical waste disposal.
A series of islands dotting the eastern coast lure sand and wave seekers, a number of civil war forts attract history buffs, and the mountains in the west provide hikers, climbers, bikers and all kinds of adrenaline junkies plenty of opportunity to get out and explore.
Though it’s one of the nation’s smallest states by land area, ranked number 40, it’s right in the middle when it comes to population with just shy of five million people living within its borders.
Here are just a few areas in South Carolina worth checking out:
Charleston is chock full of noteworthy sites. The city routinely appears on top 10 lists for best and most visited city in the entire nation. It’s a beachside city packed with class. Downtown Charleston is full of upper echelon restaurants and bed and breakfasts. Dubbed the “cultural capital of the south” Charleston has seen era after era of American history unfold in its midst. Historic buildings still stand, providing visitors insight into pre- and post- Civil War era South Carolina. It’s a town that is so proud of its natural and structural beauty that it goes to the utmost lengths to preserve it.
Myrtle Beach is a popular destination spot for people of all ages and walks of life, from families to spring breakers and everyone in between. Its hot summers and mild winters make it a great warm weather destination, while its nationally acclaimed boardwalk provides plenty of entertainment for all.
Unlike its large coastal cities, South Carolina’s capitol is nestled right in the middle of the state. The University of South Carolina took root in this city before the Civil War and has been attracting students in all fields of study ever since. Columbia is where big city meets college town and historical landmarks meet a modern skyline. Centrally located between mountains and beach, Columbia has something for everyone to enjoy.
Many South Carolina transplants choose to come to the state because of the companies that have chosen to set up shop there. Manufacturing is a main driver for South Carolina’s economy. BMW built its only assembly plant in North American here in 1994 and Boeing brought part of its business to the state in 2009.
Just as South Carolina is a hub for manufacturing, it’s also a center for innovation. Fueled largely by the state’s colleges and Universities, there is groundbreaking research happening all over the state every day. Clemson University has an entire campus dedicated to automotive innovation and the University of South Carolina NanoCenter is known for its research in high-tech.
Healthcare combined with education workers makeup up 7% of South Carolina’s total workforce according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce. Though it’s a small slice compared to the 18% of the population employed in manufacturing or 18% employed in finance, insurance real estate, it’s an important slice
The Medical University of South Carolina is one of the state’s leaders in medical research and patient care. The University graduates students in a variety of medical specialties, from pediatrics to dentistry to research. As an active center for medical and biological research, and place that trains up the next generation of doctors, nurses and medical professionals, the Medical University of South Carolina is one of the state’s most treasured healthcare resources.
Medical and biohazard waste can come in a variety of different forms. South Carolina medical waste disposal is regulated by the Department of Health and Environmental Control. The Department has a strict set of rules and regulations that dictate how medical facilities handle South Carolina medical waste disposal. The regulations exist to protect the environment and the humans who may come into contact with that waste. Examples of medical waste include but is not limited to:
Where there are doctors, there is medical waste; it’s a fact of life. One of the less glamorous things that medical professionals like those that come out of the Medical University of South Carolina, is how to properly dispose of the waste that they inevitably acquire during patient visits.
In South Carolina, there are around 7,000 registered facilities that generate infections waste, but only a handful of companies that are approved to take that waste from the office to its final resting place. MedPro Disposal is one of those medical waste disposal companies.
Price: MedPro Disposal has a proven track record of working with its clients to develop a pickup routine that fits into the client’s schedule and budget. With an army of approved drivers, MedPro Disposal is able to send someone out to pick up medical waste when a facility’s containers are likely to be full. Scheduling pickups too close together is ineffective and as a result, costly. But scheduling pickups too far apart can result in disaster. MedPro Disposal customizes pick up plans in order to cater to each individual clients’ needs.
Customer Service: MedPro Disposal only sends out the best of the best. Each of its employees is trained to work with the client’s best interest in mind. This means, if an extra stop needs to be scheduled, or a scheduled pickup needs to be postponed, making that change is only one phone call away.
Experience: MedPro Disposal is now available in 44 states across the nation. Its expansion over the past several years is a direct result of its good rapport with clients. Whether the customer is a doctor’s office, veterinary clinic, or dentist office, MedPro Disposal has experience working with all types. The company touts itself as one that knows the ins and outs of every regulation outlined by the Department of Health, and follows those regulations to the letter.
An infectious waste is any used material which is: generated in the health care community in the diagnosis, treatment, immunization, or care of human beings; generated in embalming, autopsy, or necropsy; generated in research pertaining to the production of biologicals which have been exposed to human pathogens; generated in research using human pathogens; and which is not excluded in (2) below and which is listed in the categories below:
Sharps. cultures and stocks of infectious agents and associated biologicals. human blood and blood products. pathological waste. contaminated animal carcasses, body parts, and bedding of animals intentionally exposed to pathogens. and isolation waste pursuant to the “Guidelines for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals”, Centers for Disease Control.
Prior being known as the Palmetto State, South Carolina was known as, and had emblazoned on their license plates, the Iodine State.
