You may have noticed an increase in hospital and other healthcare facility construction since the state did away with the requirement that these companies must first apply for and receive a certificate of need. Our next guest’s company is doing the same with a $300 million expansion currently underway. Mike Switzer interviews Jeff Wilson, president of Trident Health and CEO of Trident Medical Center, both in Charleston, S.C.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
