Health and wellness news in Spartanburg, South Carolina

HEREspartanburg’s health desk covers Spartanburg, South Carolina and Spartanburg County’s healthcare providers, payers, and public-health agencies every day. Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System — the largest employer in Spartanburg County — drives much of the coverage, from Spartanburg Medical Center campus expansion and Mary Black Hospital operations to Pelham Medical Center growth in Greer. We track Prisma Health Upstate expansions across the BMW corridor, Bon Secours St. Francis network growth, and Radial Health’s Spartanburg footprint.

Coverage extends to SC DHEC public-health advisories, the SC Department of Health and Human Services payer rules that affect Spartanburg County Medicaid beneficiaries, the SC Medical Association’s Upstate chapter, the Westside Community Health Center safety-net programs, and the Spartanburg Free Medical Clinic. We follow opioid-response programs, mental-health crisis services, school-based health initiatives in Districts 1 through 7, and the major capex stories that move the Upstate healthcare cluster — including the North Grove Medical Park development, physician hires at Spartanburg Regional, and joint-venture announcements that change where Spartanburg County residents go for care.
