Marlboro Park Hospital was a healthcare facility located in Bennettsville, South Carolina. The hospital served the medical needs of Marlboro County and surrounding communities until its closure in 2015. The facility operated as a 102-bed acute care hospital providing emergency services, surgical care, and general medical treatment. The hospital was established in the mid-20th century and underwent several ownership changes throughout its history. In its later years, it was operated by Community Health Systems (CHS), a large hospital management company. The facility offered various medical services including diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation, and women’s health care. In April 2015, Marlboro Park Hospital permanently closed its doors due to financial difficulties and declining patient volumes, a trend affecting many rural hospitals across the United States. The closure significantly impacted healthcare access in Marlboro County, requiring residents to travel to neighboring communities for medical care. The nearest hospital facilities became McLeod Health Cheraw and Scotland Memorial Hospital in Laurinburg, North Carolina. The closure of Marlboro Park Hospital reflected broader challenges facing rural healthcare facilities, including demographic changes, economic pressures, and the shifting landscape of healthcare delivery in rural America.
