MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The van-based clinic will rotate through Myrtle Beach neighborhoods with limited access to primary care.
Officials say they will track patient outcomes and wait times over the coming year to evaluate the impact of the changes.
Hospital administrators say the expansion is part of a broader strategy to keep pace with population growth across the region, which has outpaced the addition of new medical facilities in recent years.
The project follows similar investments by health systems elsewhere in South Carolina as providers compete for both patients and clinical staff in a tight labor market.
What Comes Next
Officials say the coming months will be a key test of whether the momentum described above holds up. Community members in Myrtle Beach are encouraged to follow updates as more details become available.
