Thank you to our partners
As we learned from the community support we’ve had since our founding, we’re better together. Today, partnerships help Tidelands Health support the health and wellness of our community.
We first opened a health and fitness center in Pawleys Island in 1998. Today, that facility is one of three regional YMCA locations, and Tidelands Health is proud to serve as the exlusive health system partner of YMCA of Coastal Carolina. Our two organizations work to improve the health and wellness of our community through programs such as Safe Sitter classes, summer camp activities and Safety Around Water, which provides free water safety lessons to second graders.
As the official health care provider of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, we encourage an active lifestyle through sports for better health. Last spring, hundreds of students received free sports physicals provided by Tidelands Health physicians and providers at clinics set up at Georgetown County schools.
“We can’t do it all by ourselves,” said Bruce Bailey, president and CEO of Tidelands Health. “We all have to work together to make the community better.”
Our health system also continues to build on our proud tradition of hosting and supporting community events.
In October 2024, a record 2,100-plus people participated in our annual In the Pink breast cancer awareness walk, held at Brookgreen Gardens. The beloved event, which raised more than $250,000 in 2024, will celebrate its 20th anniversary this October.
Our health system also supports one of the largest annual events in Myrtle Beach, providing on-site medical care as the official health care provider of the Carolina Country Music Fest.
