History
Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center originally known as Byerly Hospital began as a small clinic built in 1933 for the people of Hartsville The clinic originated as an addition to the home of Dr WL Byerly Sr but in four years the control of the hospital was transferred to a group of incorporators who were designated trustees of this nonprofit institution By 1956 the board of trustees purchased the property from Dr Byerly and the hospital became a voluntary nonprofit community hospital

During the intervening years Byerly Hospital sought to keep pace with a constantly increasing patient load by converting frame dwellings to hospital use In 1953 the 25bed Mary Byerly Wing was constructed and in 1959 the 34bed Memorial Wing was completed

In the fall of 1968 the new building was opened and four nursing units were located there

In 1976 the hospital contracted the management services of Hospital Corportation of America now Quorum Health Resources A major construction and renovation project was completed early in 1983 The first phase which was completed in May 1982 was the construction of approximately 19300 square feet of new space The new space consisted of a twostory building which was added where the Mary Byerly Wing previously stood

In August of 1995 Byerly Hospital officials signed an agreement with Health Management Associates HMA of Naples Florida to take ownership of the medical facility effective September 1 1995 Funds from the sale of Byerly Hospital an estimated 25 million was used to set up the Byerly Foundation which provides grant money to numerous local educational and community projects
