GREER, SC – Prisma Health will begin site preparation this fall on a $350 million expansion at its Greer Memorial Hospital campus which will more than double patient beds and significantly expand outpatient care with construction of a medical park.
The project will include the following:
- New pediatric and cardiovascular specialty units.
- Expansions will roughly double size of emergency department, labor and delivery, intensive care and surgical units
- Additional primary and specialty care offices in the new building, including a new ear, nose and throat practice and expanded urology, cardiology, pulmonology and neurology practices.
- Additional pediatric specialty practices will also be added.
The project is Prisma Health’s largest investment in expanding an Upstate medical campus in the past 17 years.
“We’re excited to grow with our communities and provide greater access to high-quality care as we continue to transform the way healthcare is delivered,” said Prisma Health President and CEO Mark O’Halla. “Prisma Health was formed to help create a better state of health for patients, families and communities. We work to make that goal a reality every day and continue to build on our deep understanding of the needs of our communities.”
The expansion will increase Greer Memorial’s licensed bed count to 175, a 93-bed jump. The S.C. Department of Public Health approved Prisma’s Certificate of Need application in June.
“This expansion will fundamentally transform Greer Memorial Hospital’s ability to care for this community,” said Todd Walker, Prisma’s CEO for Greer Memorial Hospital. “Greer is one of the fastest growing communities in the state, and we’re proud to grow alongside it. This investment will allow our team to continue a legacy of delivering high-quality care and positive patient experiences.”
Construction on the $250 million hospital expansion and renovation will be done in phases. It’s expected to be completed in early 2028. It will include construction of a three-story 110,000-square-foot tower adjacent to the existing hospital.
Construction on the $100 million medical office building will begin in early 2026 and is expected to be ready for its first patient by mid-2027. The medical park will be built on South Buncombe Road directly across from Greer Memorial. The project will include a three-story 100,000-square-foot outpatient office with easy-access parking. 
Prisma has had a presence in Greer since 1959 with its Allen Bennett Memorial Hospital, later transitioning to Greer Memorial Hospital in its current location on South Buncombe.
