Prisma Health re-opened the emergency department at its North Greenville Hospital at 7AM Monday. In a media release, Prisma Health said the project was made possible by a public-private partnership between Prisma Health and Greenville County.
In September, the county approved nearly $13.5 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.
The ED space has been extensively re-fitted and updated and now features eight patient treatment rooms, a critical-care trauma room, new medical equipment, updated computer and IT support and expanded ambulance bay and will be open 24/7.
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.
