Greenville Health System is hospital's new brand
MAR 18, 2013
Accompanied by a drum roll, a people-powered 40-by-10-foot logo “flip” and a promise to pay it forward, Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center officially became known as Greenville Health System at 11 a.m. today.
“The decision to change our name and logo was not a quick or easy one,” said GHS board chairman Billy Webster. “In fact, the entire process took two years. Regardless, we knew the moment we decided to become Greenville Health System that it was the right thing to do. The name Greenville Health System reflects our ongoing commitment to health and wellness. Over the years, we have become more than just a hospital – we are an academic medical center, a highly integrated delivery system and a critical health resource for our community . . . in illness and in health.”

Mark Nichols, owner of Taylors Windows and Screen, has come up with “Windows of Opportunity” to fulfill a need at the Ronald McDonald House in Greenville.
“We were actually brainstorming for ideas here locally to give back to our community when we received a call from the Ronald McDonald House.
