October 8, 2026- Prisma Health has announced an agreement to acquire 36 urgent care locations in South Carolina from Novant Health, expanding its outpatient footprint and access to same-day care across the state. The centers, formerly operated as Doctor’s Care, are expected to transition to Prisma Health Urgent Care when the transaction closes Nov. 1.
The acquisition includes approximately 500 team members. Most of the centers are expected to remain in their current locations, although a small number may be relocated to nearby facilities.
Patients will continue to have access to walk-in and virtual urgent care, as well as services including respiratory testing, X-rays and laboratory testing. The acquisition will also connect patients more directly to Prisma Health’s primary care, specialty care and hospital-based services.
“Access to timely, high-quality care is essential to the health of our communities,” said Dr. Jonathan Gleason, Prisma Health’s executive vice president and chief clinical officer. He said the acquisition will strengthen the connection between convenient, same-day care and Prisma Health’s broader network of providers and hospitals.
Prisma Health, based in Greenville, is the largest health system in South Carolina and serves more than 1.6 million people across South Carolina and Tennessee.
