Alita, an artificial intelligence (AI)-focused healthcare technology company, today announced it is establishing operations in Charleston County. The company’s investment will create 17 new jobs.
Alita is an AI-powered agent that automates admissions, intake, and hiring for post-acute and senior care providers, engaging families and job seekers 24/7 so staff can focus on people, rather than paperwork.
Alita is leasing a new office space in the Harbor Entrepreneur Center, located at 11 Ewall St. in Mount Pleasant.
Operations are already online. Individuals interested in joining the Alita team should contact info@alitahealth.ai.
QUOTES
“In a world that’s gone remote, the only way to build a magnetic headquarters, one that attracts the brightest minds in healthcare and AI, is to offer more than just a desk. Charleston County has it all: year-round sunshine, a rising tech scene, and that rare mix of ambition and southern hospitality. It’s the kind of place where work-life balance isn’t just a perk, it’s the point. If we’re going to transform post-acute care, we’re going to do it here. On the beach, in the office and everywhere in between.”
