Express Care Welcomes Longtime Local ER Physician to Clinical Team

After three decades of emergency medicine practice on Hilton Head Island, Michael R. Kaup, M.D., will join Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health. At the walk-in clinics, the board-certified emergency medicine specialist treats minor illness and injury in adult and pediatric patients of all ages.

Broadly experienced in his specialty, Kaup came to Beaufort Memorial from Hilton Head Hospital, where he pioneered emergency care and served for 30 years in the hospital’s emergency room.

“It is a great pleasure to welcome Dr. Kaup to the skilled Express Care medical team,” said Russell Baxley, president and chief executive officer at Beaufort Memorial. “Patients seeking care for urgent non-life-threatening conditions will surely benefit from his expertise, dedication and wealth of community knowledge.”

At Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health, board-certified physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners offer care for acute but non-life- or limb-threatening illness and injury. The practice also provides services to employees of businesses participating in Beaufort Memorial’s Well at Work program.

Express Care also offers work, sports, school and camp physicals; immunizations; and X-ray and lab services on-site.

If you are an existing Beaufort Memorial Physicians Partners patient, Express Care providers have access to your Beaufort Memorial medical records, enabling them to view key medical and medication history and eliminating your need to complete additional paperwork.

The practice has three locations:

• 1680 Ribaut Road, Port Royal
• 1 Burnt Church Road, Suite A, Bluffton
• 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Suite 100, Okatie

Walk-ins are welcome at all three Express Care locations. See current wait times and save your spot in line.
