Beaufort hospital acquires oncology practice

Beaufort Memorial Hospital has acquired Sea Island Cancer Center, the longtime practice of Dr. Majd Chahin, according to a news release.

His practice, now named Beaufort Memorial Medical Oncology, will remain in the same location in the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center and continue to offer treatment for a wide array of cancers as well as benign conditions.

Chahin, a board-certified hematology-oncology specialist, will continue to work with his staff, including advanced oncology nurse practitioners Kathryn Jones and Susanne Baisch.

Since opening his former practice in the Keyserling Cancer Center in 2006, Chahin has worked closely with Beaufort Memorial to develop a comprehensive cancer program to serve patients in the Lowcountry.

He will continue to serve as both medical director of Beaufort Memorial Oncology Services and principal investigator for the hospital’s clinical trials program.

Beaufort Memorial Medical Oncology is located in the Keyserling Cancer Center at 1680 Ribaut Road in Port Royal.
