Tidelands Health system - Georgetown and Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

In years past in the charming town of Georgetown, South Carolina, a vision was born. It was 1950 when Tidelands Health first opened its doors, beginning its journey with just over 130 beds. Back then, the goal was simple yet profound: to provide top-notch care in all major specialties to the community that surrounded them.

Fast forward more than 20 years, and Tidelands Health had expanded its reach. The newly built 125-bed Waccamaw Community Hospital in Murrells Inlet marked a significant milestone in their story. But the journey didn't stop there. Recognizing the need for comprehensive care, two rehabilitation hospitals were added, offering 69 beds spread across two locations. The vision extended further into the bustling Myrtle Beach market, where 70 clinic locations now thrive.

As Tidelands Health continued to grow, they always kept an eye on the future. Plans are already in motion to add a new hospital by 2028, along with several expanded multi-specialty outpatient locations, ensuring they meet the ever-increasing healthcare needs of their community.

Through all these years of growth and expansion, Tidelands Health has remained steadfast in its non-profit, community-focused mission. Guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees, all rooted in the local area, they hold a special place in their hearts for the wellbeing of their own families and friends. With an unwavering commitment to providing the best possible care, their service area is set to grow to over 600,000 people.

This is the story of Tidelands Health—a tale of dedication, growth, and an enduring promise to the community they proudly serve.



 

About Murrells Inlet and South Myrtle Beach

NOTE: Myrtle Beach is one of the fastest growing places in the country.

Once the lair of the infamous pirate Blackbeard, Murrells Inlet  just south of Myrtle Beach is now widely known as the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" and is an ideal place for those who love to explore the outdoors. A half-mile-long Marsh Walk offers spectacular views and a chance to watch fishing boats come in with the day's catch, be it fresh fish, clams, oysters, or crabs pulled from the surrounding waters.

Thrill-seekers relish opportunities to parasail, ride a banana boat or drive a jet ski, while pirate-themed boat tours bring Murrells Inlet's history of pirates and adventurers to life. This fishing village has a boating experience for every taste, from kayaking at sunrise to a day-long chartered deep-sea fishing excursion to the Gulf Stream.  After dark, things get lively along the Marsh Walk, with live music streaming from several fun-filled establishments.

Known worldwide for its beauty, Brookgreen Gardens showcases its extensive American sculpture collection with the best nature has to offer. Founded by Archer and Anna Huntington in 1931, Brookgreen Gardens was their gift to the community they loved. Today it is a National Historic Landmark with one of the most significant collections of figurative sculpture, by American artists in an outdoor setting, in the world. Visitors will always find something in bloom, no matter what the season and the zoo offers an up-close look at local wildlife. For the adventurer, try a Carolina Safari tour through local attractions, or Blue Wave Adventures Dolphin Watch Tour, for a kayak or charter exploration for marine life.

Directly across the highway lies Huntington Beach State Park, originally a part of the Huntington's estate and now a must-see for the serious bird watcher. This 2,500-acre park also offers ocean-side camping, fishing and nature programs along the three miles of beach and hundreds of acres of salt marsh.
