Thank you to our growing region

Over the past 75 years, Tidelands Health has built a network of four hospitals and more than 70 outpatient locations to serve our fast-growing region.
From the opening of Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital in 2002 to the establishment of dozens of physician offices, rehabilitation clinics, imaging centers and two Tidelands Health Rehabilitation Hospital locations, we’ve grown with our growing community.
Now, planning is underway for Tidelands Health Carolina Bays Hospital, to be located in south Horry County.
Initial site work at the future location of the hospital has begun. The Tidelands Health Carolina Bays Hospital campus will also be home to a third location Tidelands Health Rehabilitation Hospital, an affiliate of Encompass Health, and specialty services such as advanced cancer care, open-heart surgery and pediatric sub-specialty care.
“One of the most significant changes has been how we focus on ambulatory care across our network,” said Gayle Resetar, executive vice president and chief operating officer. Resetar has helped develop numerous new facilities during her 30-plus-year career at Tidelands Health.
“That might mean physician practices, freestanding imaging centers,” she said. “Tidelands Health Medical Park at The Market Common is another big milestone. We are a fully integrated health system, and we deliver all those elements of care. We’re very different than we were 50 years ago or even 25 years ago.
“Today, we’re really a health care system that’s spread our wings quite a bit across the whole continuum of care. It’s very integrated, and I think that’s the future.”
