2000's: GHS Decades of Care

For GHS, the new Millennium brought change and tremendous growth Michael Riordan became just the fourth president and CEO to lead Greenville Hospital System since 1953 - he was preceded by visionaries Robert Toomey, Jack Skarupa and Frank Pinckney.
In 2004, the Health Sciences South Carolina Collaborative launched with GHS as a founding partner. The Greenville HealthCare Simulation Center debuted in 2005, with the most technologically advanced hands-on training for healthcare workers in the state. Meanwhile, Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas opened, bringing renowned orthopaedic care to the region. The Children's Hospital Outpatient Center was added to the burgeoning Patewood Medical Campus as was Patewood Memorial Hospital - a 72-bed short-stay surgical hospital. In 2008, Allen Bennett Memorial Hospital was closed after 55 years of service and replaced with an 82-bed hospital on the new Greer Medical Campus. The Heart Institute, Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital, Cancer Center and Children's Hospital continued to grow on Greenville Memorial Medical Campus. 2009 marked the dedication of the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail and the start of a 50/50 ownership of Baptist Easley Hospital by GHS and Palmetto Health. Expansion continued in academics with the Master of Nurse Anesthesia program beginning in 2010 and the South Carolina College of Pharmacy adding a third campus at GHS in 2011.
