As a partner in nursing education for the region, McLeod Health has made a $75,000 gift to Horry-Georgetown Technical College (HGTC) to support its nursing and health sciences program. HGTC offers an Associate in Applied Science in Nursing (ADN) degree and a Practical Nursing (PN) diploma for students, which is a valuable resource for recruitment at McLeod Health. The HGTC Nursing and Health Sciences Institute has set ambitious, yet achievable goals. These include developing a world-class, integrated simulation learning environment, expanding nursing enrollment to 600 students by 2030, providing exceptional clinical rotation and internship opportunities, and consistently attracting top-tier healthcare faculty to HGTC.
