Healthcare

Newberry County Memorial Hospital

Newberry County Memorial Hospital (NCMH) provides general medical and surgical care for inpatient, outpatient, and emergency room patients. As a 90-bed acute and 12-bed sub-acute community hospital, NCMH offers a broad spectrum of care and services. The hospital has over 50 physicians on its medical staff and employs approximately 489 people.

In 2002, NCMH completed a $13.4 million renovation and expansion project creating a customer-friendly outpatient medical mall on the first floor. Since that major renovation, the hospital has not slowed down. A satellite office was opened in Little Mountain in 2003. The birthing unit New Beginnings was expanded and completely renovated in 2004. 

In 2006, another major renovation and expansion began. The project was supported by the Penny Sales Infrastructure Tax approved by Newberry County citizens. The hospital added a new and much larger laboratory area, surgical dressing rooms, pediatric rooms, an obstetrical operating room in New Beginnings, an expanded chemotherapy area, and other minor renovations. These expansions and improvements were completed and celebrated on June 26, 2007. 

That same year, the hospital and Atrium Development Corporation began a medical office-building project in the front of the hospital. Completed in 2008, the Atrium Center includes a new and expanded Wellness and Rehabilitation Center, a 1.5 teslar MRI, and five physicians' offices. 

Another significant advancement in local healthcare during this time was the advent of local oncology care. Newberry is home to an advanced Oncology and Infusion Center that provides outpatient chemotherapy and infusion treatments at NCMH. This is a major convenience for cancer patients and their loved ones.

To complete the availability of local oncology care, Newberry Oncology Associates opened in 2008. The hospital is a partner in this service. Under the direction of Dr. Mark Ezekiel, this modern center offers advanced radiation therapy for local oncology patients. Again, this center enables local cancer patients to get sophisticated care close to home.

Through expansions, mergers and hard times, our community has demonstrated its strong support for exceptional healthcare over the years. With the hospital "linen shower," the investment of school children's pennies and taxpayers' dollars, and the vegetable gardens, the people of Newberry County have been personally involved in providing exceptional healthcare to their neighbors, families and newcomers. 

"Exceptional services with a personal touch...close to home" is more than just a slogan at Newberry County Memorial Hospital. It's a way of life.
