A Message from Capital Regional Medical Center 

At Capital Regional Medical Center, our strategies have been focused on safely returning to routine patient care services, including procedures and surgeries. Delaying important medical procedures can result in patients unnecessarily suffering at home, and later seeking care only when their conditions become serious.
