When you walk through the doors of Conway Medical Center with Novant Health, you're entering an institution that has served as the cornerstone of healthcare excellence for Horry County since 1928 – a nearly century-long legacy of adapting, growing, and innovating to meet the evolving needs of coastal Carolina. What began as a vision of local physicians who recognized their community's need for quality healthcare has evolved into a sophisticated 222-bed medical center that stands as one of the region's most trusted healthcare providers, employing nearly 2,000 dedicated professionals and serving patients from Georgetown to Little River and west into Marion County.
The recent strategic partnership with Novant Health, announced in August 2023, amplifies this legacy by combining local governance and deep community roots with the resources and expertise of one of the Southeast's premier health systems, positioning Conway Medical Center at the forefront of healthcare innovation while maintaining its cherished nonprofit, community-focused mission.
Your interventional radiology practice will be housed within facilities that reflect Conway Medical Center's ongoing commitment to cutting-edge medical technology and patient-centered design. The crown jewel of recent expansions, the Patient Bed Tower that opened in 2009, added 71,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space including 64 private patient rooms equipped with the latest monitoring technology and spacious accommodations for families – creating healing environments that enhance both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
The cardiac catheterization laboratory where you'll perform many of your interventional procedures features equipment that supports everything from routine diagnostic angiography to complex neuro-interventional procedures. Beyond the interventional suite, you'll have access to an impressive array of diagnostic capabilities including PET scanning, two 64-slice GE CT systems, 3-D mammography with SmartCurve technology, breast MRI, and stereotactic biopsy—all complementing your interventional work.
Definitive Healthcare data reveals a financially robust institution with $220.2 million in net patient revenue, validating the community's trust and CMC’s ability to invest in advanced technology, recruit top talent, and enhance facilities. With Novant Health's 30% membership interest valued at $75 million, you’re joining an organization primed for program growth and long-term sustainability.
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) with a four-star Charity Navigator rating, Conway Medical Center prioritizes reinvestment in care over profit—channeling resources into clinical programs, technology, and physician support instead of shareholder returns.
Conway Medical Center uniquely combines community intimacy with the capabilities of a larger medical system. With a staff of approximately 200 physicians across 30 specialties, the culture encourages natural collaboration and personalized care. It’s an environment where you’ll know your colleagues personally, not just professionally.
Commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its EPA ENERGY STAR certification, achieved by only three hospitals in South Carolina. Additional clinical recognitions include the 2025 American College of Cardiology NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry Performance Achievement Award and Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI.
Through its partnership with Campbell University’s ACGME-accredited Family Medicine Residency and its role as official sports medicine provider for Coastal Carolina University, CMC offers opportunities to teach, mentor, and connect with the broader community. The expansive physician network—from Georgetown to Little River—ensures strong referral patterns while maintaining the accessibility and responsiveness of true community care.
This is where the intimacy of community practice meets the sophistication of academic medicine—where you can know your patients by name and still practice with technology and resources rivaling any metropolitan center.
