The Georgetown Memorial Hospital is a 275,000-square-foot, full-service healthcare facility developed for one of Grace Hebert Curtis’ largest and most prolific repeat clients – Tidelands Health, the largest healthcare provider for South Carolina’s Horry and Georgetown Counties.

After a series of significant renovation projects that began in 1998, Grace Hebert Curtis was selected in 2012 to complete a master plan and facility assessment, as the existing site was landlocked and ill-suited for future expansion. This led to full architectural planning and design services to replace the original hospital structure. Through listening to patients and shadowing staff at all levels, Grace Hebert Curtis created a plan to flip the function and orientation of the hospital. The new 129-bed facility was completed in 2013.

To bring the hospital campus in alignment with the client’s modern needs and vision, Grace Hebert Curtis’ master plan also included renovating the emergency, imaging, and obstetrics departments and creating a central lab and several outpatient clinics. Further renovation and construction created public mall spaces and upgraded patient rooms to larger more family-friendly spaces. A 17,230-square-foot upgrade to the facility’s main entrance was completed in 2017, and a 2018 renovation and expansion project resulted in the 43,000-square-foot Yawkey Surgery Pavilion.
