Mary Black Health System

What Mary Black Health System does

Mary Black Health System is now a campus within Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System (SRHS), a nonprofit integrated healthcare delivery network founded in 1921 (Mary Black was founded in 1925) and headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The system operates four acute care hospitals — Spartanburg Medical Center (including the Mary Black Campus), Cherokee Medical Center (125 beds), Pelham Medical Center, and Union Medical Center — supported by approximately 190 care locations across Spartanburg, Greenville, Cherokee, and Union counties in Upstate South Carolina. Its service portfolio spans the full continuum from Level III NICU and PICU through outpatient primary care, oncology (Gibbs Cancer Center & Research Institute), hospice, sports medicine, behavioral health, breast health, and home health.

Core technology infrastructure is built on the Epic electronic medical records platform, which powers the MyChart HIPAA-compliant patient portal used for scheduling, telehealth visits, prescription refills, and care management. The system has built out a multi-modal telehealth stack — video visits, Home Health Telemonitoring, School-Based Telehealth (in partnership with the SC Telehealth Alliance), Telepsychiatry, and lactation virtual consultations — and operates 17+ NCQA-recognized Patient-Centered Medical Home practices under the Medical Group of the Carolinas (MGC) physician network.

Revenue mechanics are typical of a nonprofit regional health system: a mix of Medicare, Medicaid, workers' compensation, private insurance, and private pay across inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory, and hospice service lines, supplemented by philanthropy through the Spartanburg Regional Foundation Special Needs Fund. Hospice services are billed on a daily rate. The organization is governed by a Board of Trustees with no PE/VC or parent-company ownership indicated. Mary Black Health System, as a for-profit entity in the firmographic data, appears to reflect its pre-integration status before becoming part of the SRHS nonprofit network.
