As the premier destination for healthcare in the Southern Crescent, Southern
Regional Health System is a trusted resource for medical information. Our
relationship with the media is based on mutual respect and the assurance that
patients’ privacy and confidentiality are given the highest priority.
Media Requests for Interviews and Photographs
To effectively facilitate media
requests, Southern Regional has established the following guidelines: Members of
the media interested in conducting interviews, taking video, or taking
photographs of staff, patients, or patients’ families must request and receive
permission from a representative of the Southern Regional Public Relations
department. All patients must sign a consent form before the media will be
allowed to interview, photograph, or video tape. A member of the public
relations team and/or security will accompany members of the media at all times
while they are on Southern Regional property. TV News crews must remain in the
designated media parking lot (located below the Emergency Room entrance) until a
member of the Southern Regional Public Relations or Security team can escort
them into the facility.
