US News and World Report ranked this area number 1 in its list of fastest-growing places in the US for 2021-2022. The growth continues today, necessitating the need for a dedicated physician. McLeod Loris Seacoast Hospital established its Hospice and Palliative Care program in 2015; however, its sustained double-digit growth needs a dedicated physician to serve this area. The coastal program is an extension of the McLeod Health system program that has served 11 counties from the Midlands to the coast since 1984.
The ideal candidate for this McLeod Loris Seacoast position is a physician with a passion for hospice and palliative care interested in working in a rapidly changing environment who would like to grow and mature an inpatient hospice and palliative care program. This position is Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with no weekend rounding, except being a phone resource for the team after-hours.
The current Coastal program has an established Hospice office with an on-site director and nursing staff, along with social workers and bereavement coordinators available to serve the inpatient and outpatient needs of Horry County. The outpatient hospice and palliative care program currently carries an average daily census of 100 patients.
This position is employed with McLeod Health with paid malpractice, CME allowance, base salary plus RVU bonus, Sign On bonus, relocation allowance, paid time off, and excellent retirement and health benefits. This opportunity also includes an Associated Medical Director work with bonus pay.
McLeod Loris Seacoast Hospital is part of McLeod Health, the region’s largest healthcare network. The coastal area in Horry County encompasses Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Loris, South Carolina, and southern portions of North Carolina.
