About KershawHealth
KershawHealth has always had close ties to the community, beginning with the founding of Camden Hospital by private citizens in 1913. In that year, financier and philanthropist Bernard Baruch and a local group donated funds to build the not-for-profit hospital, and the nursing school was organized. After a fire in 1921, Baruch also funded replacement of the main building with a larger one.
Philanthropy continued to be an integral part of the growth of KershawHealth. Later, Marion DuPont Scott bequeathed Springdale Race Course to the state with the stipulation that proceeds from the annual Carolina and Colonial Cup proceeds be given to KershawHealth. That partnership continues into the present.
Today, KershawHealth remains a non-profit, locally controlled comprehensive healthcare system. It is anchored by the 121-bed medical center and the 88-bed Karesh Long Term Care center. Other facilities provide care throughout Kershaw County and surrounding areas.
