Greenville Health System
Greenville Health System (GHS) is a private not-for-profit academic healthcare delivery system committed to medical excellence through clinical care, education and research. It is part of a health company led by the Strategic Coordinating Organization. The Strategic Coordinating Organization provides strategic direction and corporate services to its affiliates, including GHS.
GHS first opened its doors as City Hospital back in 1912. Over the last 100 years, the organization has evolved from a single free-standing hospital to a highly integrated delivery system and now an academic health center. In that time, GHS has become the state’s largest not-for-profit healthcare system and an advocate for healthy living initiatives, such as LiveWell Greenville, the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail and Greenville B-cycle, the City of Greenville's bike share program.
GHS’ commitment to medical education has also advanced over the years, most notably with the addition of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville (2012) and the Clemson University School of Nursing (fall of 2018) on GHS’ Greenville Memorial Medical Campus.
Greenville Health System is a not-for-profit, patient-centered, teaching and research institution.
The system has 1,756 licensed beds, 1,985 affiliated and employed medical staff and faculty, and more than 15,000 employees dispersed throughout seven medical campuses and a variety of outpatient and specialty facilities. Its residency and fellowship programs provide training for more than 400 physicians, nursing and allied health students annually.
GHS’ Greenville Memorial Hospital is the state’s largest acute care hospital. It contains Greenville’s only 24-hour Level 1 trauma center and dedicated chest pain center, children’s hospital and ER, pediatric ICU, and highest level neonatal ICU. Its cardiac and women’s services are among the largest in South Carolina. Cancer, rehabilitation, mental health, and wellness services—all located on Greenville Memorial Medical Campus—are available as well.
GHS’ Greer Medical Campus is home to Greer Memorial Hospital, an 82-bed facility with a Level III Emergency Trauma Center, ICU, and maternity care. A variety of diagnostic services are available; special services involve cardiac rehabilitation, breast health, and physical and respiratory therapies. The Cottages at Brushy Creek, a 144-bed skilled nursing facility, lies adjacent to the hospital.
GHS’ North Greenville Medical Campus features a 45-bed long-term acute care hospital for adults with complex medical conditions who require an extended stay before returning home. Hospitalists and other specially trained staff provide patient-centered services (including dialysis, rehabilitation, and CT scanning). The campus also includes 24-hour emergency care. Outpatient services are available for pediatrics, orthopaedics, and lab and radiology studies.
