Prisma Health has re-opened the emergency department at its North Greenville Hospital, thanks to the support of Greenville County. 

The project was made possible by a public-private partnership between Prisma Health and Greenville County. In September, the county approved $13.49 million in one-time federal COVID-19 relief funds to help re-open the emergency department which had been closed in 2020 when the hospital was used as a COVID unit. Prisma Health started walk-in primary care in that space to address the urgent care needs of the community.  

The ED space has been extensively re-upfitted and updated. It features eight patient treatment rooms, including a critical-care trauma room, new medical equipment, updated computer and IT support and expanded ambulance bay. The Emergency Department will be open 24/7 and be staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians, acute care trained nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists and paramedics.   

Walk-in Care North Greenville, which had been located in the ED footprint post-COVID, will re-open in a larger space on the North Greenville Hospital Campus in the spring. The expanded primary-care space will allow for an additional four exam rooms, with recruitment already underway for an additional two providers. Prisma Health Travelers Rest Family Medicine is also recruiting for more providers. Prisma Health also sponsors health-awareness events in Travelers Rest.
