Partnership reinforces a shared commitment to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care to children and families in the Lowcountry

BLUFFTON, SC, May 05, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sweetgrass Pediatrics, a leading pediatric healthcare provider with locations across South Carolina, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Seaside Pediatrics as part of its current operations, effective May 4, 2026. With established offices in Bluffton (167 Bluffton Road, Suite G) and Hilton Head (15 Hospital Center Commons, Suite 100A), Seaside Pediatrics has been a trusted source of comprehensive pediatric care for families throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina for nearly 20 years.

Founded by Dr. Maureen Berrigan in 2007, Seaside Pediatrics has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality pediatric care through trusted practitioners serving local families. With the integration, Dr. Berrigan and her team will remain on staff indefinitely, maintaining continuity of care and allowing patients to continue seeing the trusted providers they know and rely on.

With the transition to Sweetgrass Pediatrics, Seaside Pediatrics will continue its current hours of operation—8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Through Sweetgrass Pediatrics and its sister practice, SouthernMED Pediatrics, Seaside families will now have access to a broader, integrated healthcare network across South Carolina, along with telehealth services, behavioral health and counseling specialists, online scheduling, and text-based communication.

"This partnership allows us to build on the strong foundation established by Dr. Berrigan and her Seaside Pediatrics team," said Dr. Colleen Boylston of Sweetgrass Pediatrics. "Together, we can expand access, streamline the patient experience, and continue providing high-quality care to families across our communities."

"We are incredibly proud of the care we've built within our community. This integration gives our patients expanded access to resources, enhanced coordination of care, and continued support from the same trusted team they know today," said Dr. Maureen Berrigan. "Most importantly, it ensures we can continue delivering the personalized, compassionate care families have always relied on while benefiting from the strength and scale of a broader network."
