Georgetown Hospital System is a not-for-profit, coastal Carolina regional health care system. When it opened in 1950, Georgetown Memorial Hospital had 50 beds and a 14-member medical staff. Through the years, beds were added as services and medical staff increased. Today, Georgetown Memorial Hospital has 131 patient beds, and is a full service facility that includes ICU and Step-Down beds, a Cardiac Cath Lab, Endoscopy, Surgical Services, Emergency Department, Labor and Delivery, Pediatrics and several telemetry-equipped medical-surgical nursing units.

In 2002, Waccamaw Community Hospital (WCH) opened to meet the needs of the rapidly growing service area just south of Myrtle Beach. WCH has added beds in two separate expansions and today has 111 beds. Service capabilities at WCH closely parallel those available at Georgetown Memorial Hospital. Waccamaw Community Hospital is located in Murrells Inlet, SC.
