Specialty Services The diverse array of services offered allows McLeod to meet the unique healthcare needs of the region from an accredited Cancer Center and Stereotactic Radiosurgery program to three dedicated open heart surgery suites and two vascular hybrid ORs within the Heart & Vascular Institute. All of these are added to the hospitals Centers of Excellence in Surgery, Neurosurgery, Trauma, Orthopedics and Womens Services as well as its Diabetes Center, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Services, and the Center for Advanced Surgery, which all deliver an unmatched level of care and experience to people in the region. One of only five state-designated regional perinatal centers, McLeod Regional Medical Center also offers the region's only Children's Hospital which includes a 48-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and six-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. A teaching facility for residents since 1980, McLeod supports a three-year Family Medicine Residency Program. In addition, the McLeod Hospice House, a 24-bed inpatient facility, is located on the campus. The McLeod Health and Fitness Center in Florence is the regions largest and only medically-based health and wellness center.

This facility houses the adult outpatient therapy services of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, work recovery, sports medicine and the Occupational Therapy Hand Center. McLeod Health celebrated its Centennial in 2006 by opening a seven-story addition to the 12-story McLeod Pavilion Tower.

The McLeod Center for Advanced Surgery includes 30 OR suites for: minimally invasive, robotic-assisted, invasive, outpatient, gynecology, obstetrical and heart surgery cases. The Center reflects McLeods movement towards superlative technology and more enhanced "minimally invasive" procedures for faster recovery. As McLeod continues to serve the region as the choice for medical excellence, preserving those high standards means continually expanding both services and facilities to meet the healthcare needs of its patients. For critically ill patients, the Center for Intensive Care on the campus of McLeod Regional Medical Center opened in 2013 for the convenience of patients and staff. The center includes 100 critical care beds and 20 step-down beds. Improvements to its facilities on the campus of McLeod Regional Medical Center include consolidation of specialized services and expansions to better serve patients and guests. In the area of Oncology, the Center for Cancer Treatment and Research opened at the end of 2013. Dedicated to the physical and emotional needs of cancer patients and their families, the Cancer Center is a beacon of hope and healing for the communities McLeod serves. As one of the most patient-centered environments, the Center has been designed to offer the highest quality, individualized care with convenient access to all cancer services and care. The McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment & Research offers natural light, a cascading water wall, garden views, and relaxing furnishings to inspire, soothe and comfort patients and family members. Patients can also easily manage their physician appointments and infusion or radiation treatments all in one location. In addition, they can participate in cancer research and meet with an oncology navigator or social worker without ever leaving the Cancer Center. In 2018, the Cancer Center installed its third TrueBeam linear accelerator capable of performing an advanced form of radiation therapy to treat lung and liver cancer. Advantages to patients include the ability to deliver a large radiation dose to a tumor in the body, reducing the amount of time during treatment and resulting in fewer treatments. In addition to these units, McLeod offers the only active linear accelerator (LINAC) based Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) program from the midlands to the coast for the treatment of brain cancer and nerve conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia. |
| FORM 990 PART III LINE 4A CONTINUED | In 2019, the McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment and Research was named a Novalis Certified Cancer Center following a rigorous and voluntary audit conducted by an independent, third-party panel of experts in radiation oncology, patient safety and treatment quality. One of only eight Novalis Certified Centers in the United States, McLeod is the only such cancer center in South Carolina. The hospital also represents one of only 46 certified centers worldwide. Located within the McLeod Heart and Vascular Institute are three dedicated open heart surgery suites, two hybrid surgical suites, a cardiovascular intensive care unit, the cardiovascular day hospital, and an area for general ultrasound services, echocardiography, and EKG. The Vascular Hybrid Surgical Suite offers McLeod Vascular Surgeons the flexibility of performing both diagnostic and surgical procedures in one location. The hybrid suite eliminates the necessity of moving the patient by combining the two capabilities, X-ray imaging and surgery, into one area. The suite is equipped with X-ray imaging systems mounted to the ceiling. If the patient should require surgery, the equipment is easily moved out of the way and the table converted to a surgical table. In a region that has a high incidence of heart and vascular disease, McLeod added a second state-of-the-art Hybrid Operating Suite in 2017. This operating suite combines the medical expertise of interventional cardiologists and the surgical expertise of the cardiothoracic surgeons with the most advanced heart technology available to perform TAVR, transcatheter aortic valve replacement. TAVR targets patients with aortic valve stenosis, a condition that results in the narrowing of the main valve that allows the blood to exit the heart causing blood to back up in the lungs. Performed through very small incisions, and in some cases needle punctures, this procedure inserts a new valve without removing the old, degenerated valve. Committed to bringing excellence in healthcare and access to leading edge technology to deliver the highest quality and most innovative surgical treatment to patients in the region, McLeod Medical Park Five is now open on the campus of McLeod Regional Medical Center. The new facility houses the outpatient surgery center and orthopedic physician offices. In 2018, McLeod Health also established McLeod Medical Park Hartsville located in Hartsville, SC. Services offered in Hartsville include physical therapy and rehabilitation services through McLeod Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, as well as rotating physician appointments in Cardiology, Vascular, and Orthopedics. On the coast, the McLeod Health Carolina Forest complex has opened the first two of seven medical park office buildings. Multiple physician practices occupy these two office buildings as an extension of McLeod Loris Seacoast Hospital. At the entrance of the campus is Building 1 which includes McLeod Family Medicine-Carolina Forest and Atlantic Urology Clinics. Building 2 encompasses McLeod Cardiology Associates, McLeod Vascular Associates, McLeod Loris Seacoast Surgery, McLeod OB/GYN Seacoast and McLeod Neurology-Carolina Forest. In addition, a new outpatient rehabilitation department provides physical, speech, pediatric and occupational therapy services. In October of 2019, McLeod Health also announced the opening of the new McLeod Health Carolina Forest Emergency Department. The 13,000 square-foot Emergency Department, which is open 24/7, offers streamlined services, including 15 spacious exam rooms and state-of-the-art trauma facilities with advanced diagnostic equipment. The only Emergency Department in Carolina Forest, the facility includes a trauma room, triage room, and other specialized areas. In addition, Radiology/CT and Lab services are housed within the Emergency Department to expedite a diagnosis. McLeod Health now offers McLeod TeleHealth, a service that enables patients to connect through live video with a doctor anytime from anywhere in the Carolinas using a computer, smart phone or tablet. McLeod TeleHealth is the only hospital-affiliated telehealth service in the region that enables patients to directly communicate with doctors online, making health care access faster, easier, and more affordable. Patients can access a board-certified physician for minor illnesses or recurring conditions like cough, cold, ear infections, bronchitis, rashes, or the flu. Doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and no appointment is necessary. Sign-up is free at McLeodTeleHealth.org. A free mobile app is also available for download. McLeod is affiliated with academic institutions to address the communitys healthcare needs. McLeod facilitates Family Medicine and Pharmacy Residency Programs and supports Francis Marion University's Bachelor of Science Nursing Degree Program as well as Florence-Darlington Technical Colleges Associate Degree Nursing Program. Rotations at McLeod Regional Medical Center in clinical and administrative areas are also offered to students from educational programs throughout the state. For more than 35 years, McLeod has participated in state-of-the-art cancer research and made clinical trials available to people living in northeastern South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina. McLeod's involvement in cancer research is supported by multiple research partners, including the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Southeast Clinical Oncology Research Consortium, (SCOR). McLeod is dedicated to providing area residents the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial that best suits the unique needs of the individual. As nurses are a part of the future of health care, the region is very fortunate to have two excellent nursing education programs in Florence at Francis Marion University and Florence-Darlington Technical College. These two programs are the cornerstone for recruiting, retention and cultivation of exceptional nurses by McLeod and other health care providers in the region. Annually, McLeod Health donates $75,000 to both the Florence-Darlington Technical College and Francis Marion University Nursing Programs. These contributions recognize each school's Nursing Program for their commitment to the development of outstanding health care professionals for the region. The success of the relationships with the two college Nursing Programs, coupled with strong recruiting efforts, has helped McLeod and other health care providers in the region improve their nursing vacancy rate considerably. In addition to this years gifts to the Francis Marion University and Florence-Darlington Technical College Nursing Programs, McLeod also offers scholarships to eligible students to assist those who need financial aid with nursing school.
