Our Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing timely, high-quality emergency medical care for patients of all ages. From the moment you arrive, our dedicated team is committed to treating every patient with urgency, respect, and the personalized attention that reflects our mission of delivering healthcare that heals.

At Washington Regional Medical Center, we believe exceptional emergency care goes beyond treating an illness or injury—it means caring for the person behind the emergency. Every decision we make is guided by compassion, clinical excellence, and a commitment to serving our community when it matters most.
Inpatient Hospital Care
Compassionate Care Throughout Your Recovery
When a hospital stay is needed, you deserve more than excellent medical care—you deserve to feel supported, respected, and cared for every step of the way. At Washington Regional Medical Center, our physicians, nurses, therapists, and healthcare professionals work together to provide personalized care in a safe, comfortable environment where healing begins with compassion.
Whether you require specialized medical treatment, surgery recovery, or 24-hour observation, our dedicated inpatient team is committed to meeting your individual healthcare needs. Every care plan is tailored to the patient, with a focus on promoting recovery, encouraging family involvement, and providing the highest quality care close to home.
From admission through discharge, our goal is to make every hospital stay as comfortable and reassuring as possible. By combining advanced medical expertise with genuine compassion, we remain committed to delivering healthcare that heals—helping our patients recover with confidence while staying close to the people and community who matter most.
Outpatient Hospital Care
Specialized Care Designed Around You
Not every healthcare need requires an overnight hospital stay. Washington Regional Medical Center provides outpatient services designed to give patients convenient access to treatment, testing, and specialty care while allowing them to return home the same day. Our team is committed to making each visit as comfortable and convenient as possible, with personalized attention and the compassion our patients expect from WRMC.
Our outpatient services include infusion therapy, podiatry (foot care), diagnostic services, and other physician-ordered outpatient treatments and procedures. By coordinating many of these services through Washington Regional Medical Center, patients can receive the care they need in a familiar setting supported by the hospital’s clinical resources and healthcare professionals.
Specialty Care Through Telehealth
WRMC is also expanding access to specialty physicians through telehealth services provided locally at the WRMC Specialty Clinic. Patients can connect with specialists through secure video technology while receiving their visit from WRMC, helping reduce the time, expense, and inconvenience of traveling long distances for specialty consultations and follow-up care.
Telehealth specialty services are currently available for Pulmonology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, and Neurology. Endocrinology services are expected to begin in December, further expanding access to specialty care for patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other endocrine conditions.
Our telehealth program combines the expertise of specialty providers with the convenience and support of receiving care within your community. For many patients—particularly those who may find long-distance travel difficult—this provides an important connection to specialty healthcare while allowing them to remain near family, their primary care providers, and the healthcare team they know.
At Washington Regional Medical Center, outpatient care is about more than convenience. It is about removing barriers to care, connecting our communities with needed medical expertise, and treating every patient with compassion, dignity, and personal attention. As WRMC continues to grow, we will continue looking for new ways to bring high-quality services and specialty care to the people and communities we serve.
Lab Services
Accurate Answers. Faster Care. Greater Peace of Mind.
When your healthcare depends on laboratory testing, you deserve results you can trust. At Washington Regional Medical Center, our CLIA-certified Laboratory Department provides accurate, timely testing that helps physicians diagnose illnesses, monitor treatment, and make informed medical decisions—so you can begin the right care as quickly as possible.
Our laboratory is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by highly trained, board-certified laboratory professionals dedicated to delivering precise, reliable results. Many routine tests are completed the very same day, helping reduce wait times and allowing your healthcare team to begin treatment sooner whenever possible.
For your convenience, laboratory services are available both inside Washington Regional Medical Center and at Plymouth Primary Care Clinic. Our full-service laboratory performs a wide range of diagnostic testing, including microbiology, clinical chemistry, special chemistry, blood banking, urinalysis, serology, hematology, and coagulation testing. To ensure patients have access to the most comprehensive testing available, we also partner with trusted organizations including Greenville Pathology and LabCorp.
At Washington Regional Medical Center, we continually invest in advanced laboratory technology and modern diagnostic equipment to provide the highest level of precision and quality. Every test we perform supports one goal: giving patients and their healthcare providers the trusted information they need to make confident decisions and deliver healthcare that heals.

At Washington Regional Medical Center, our Radiology Department combines advanced diagnostic technology with compassionate care to help physicians diagnose conditions quickly, accurately, and confidently.

This advanced technology allows patients throughout our region to benefit from sophisticated diagnostic imaging that is often associated with much larger medical centers—bringing exceptional capabilities to the communities we proudly serve.
Expert Interpretation. Timely Results.
Every imaging study is interpreted by board-certified radiologists from Eastern Radiologists, Inc. in Greenville, North Carolina. In most cases, reports are returned to your healthcare provider within one hour, helping physicians make timely decisions and begin treatment as quickly as possible.
Our Radiology Department offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging services, including 128-slice CT, digital X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, and other advanced imaging studies. We welcome both STAT and routine referrals, with same-day appointments available in many cases.

Pharmacy
Safe Medication Management. An Important Part of Your Care.
Medications play an important role in the treatment and recovery of many hospitalized patients. At Washington Regional Medical Center, our inpatient Pharmacy Services team works closely with physicians, nurses, and other members of the healthcare team to help ensure medications are provided safely, accurately, and appropriately throughout a patient’s hospital stay.
From reviewing medication orders and verifying dosages to helping ensure medications are available when needed, our pharmacy professionals provide an important layer of safety behind the care our patients receive every day.
Supporting Safe and Effective Patient Care
Our inpatient pharmacy team supports patient care through services that include:
- Medication Order Review — Reviewing and verifying medication orders for appropriate dosing, potential interactions, allergies, and other medication-safety considerations.
- Medication Distribution — Managing and supplying medications needed for patients receiving care within the hospital.
- Medication Inventory Management — Maintaining appropriate medication supplies throughout the hospital, including medications needed to support routine, acute, and emergency patient care.
- Clinical Collaboration — Working with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to support appropriate medication therapy and patient safety.
- Medication Safety — Helping identify potential medication-related concerns and supporting safe medication practices throughout the hospital.
Working Together for Our Patients
Pharmacy Services is an important part of the coordinated care provided at Washington Regional Medical Center. Although patients may not always meet the pharmacy professionals working behind the scenes, their expertise supports physicians, nurses, and other members of the clinical team throughout a patient’s hospital stay.
This collaborative approach helps support the safe and appropriate use of medications while ensuring that the clinical care team has access to the medications needed to care for our patients.
Inpatient Pharmacy Services
Washington Regional Medical Center’s Pharmacy Department provides pharmacy services for patients receiving care within the hospital. WRMC currently does not operate a retail or outpatient pharmacy and does not fill prescriptions for the general public.
When a patient is discharged, prescriptions intended for use at home may be sent to or filled by the patient’s pharmacy of choice, as appropriate.
At Washington Regional Medical Center, medication safety is another important part of our commitment to providing dependable, patient-centered care to the community we serve.

Swing Bed Program
Helping You Recover with Confidence Before Returning Home
Sometimes you’re well enough to leave the hospital—but not quite ready to return home. After surgery, a serious illness, or an injury, you may still need skilled nursing care or rehabilitation before you can safely resume your daily routine. Washington Regional Medical Center’s Swing Bed Program provides the additional care and therapy you need in a comfortable, familiar hospital setting, helping you regain strength, restore independence, and prepare for a successful recovery at home.
Our Swing Bed Program is designed for patients who no longer require acute hospital care but continue to need skilled nursing services and rehabilitation. Rather than transferring to a nursing facility, many eligible patients can remain at Washington Regional Medical Center, where they receive personalized care from a dedicated team of physicians, nurses, therapists, and care coordinators focused on helping them recover safely and confidently.
Patients may qualify for Swing Bed services following a hospital stay at Washington Regional Medical Center or another hospital. If you receive specialized treatment at a larger medical center, you may be able to return to Washington Regional Medical Center to complete your recovery closer to your family and support system.

Each patient’s recovery plan is tailored to their individual needs and may include:
- Skilled Nursing Care

- Speech Therapy
- Respiratory Therapy
Our interdisciplinary team works together to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and help you achieve the highest possible level of independence before returning home.
Transitioning Home with Confidence
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. Before discharge, our care coordination team works closely with you and your family to ensure a smooth transition home. If needed, we arrange home health services, medical equipment, follow-up appointments, and other resources so you can continue your recovery with confidence.
Who May Qualify?
Many patients are eligible for Swing Bed services through Medicare Part A. General eligibility requirements include:
- Medicare Part A coverage
- A qualifying inpatient hospital stay of at least three consecutive days
- A physician’s determination that daily skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services are medically necessary
Our Swing Bed Coordinator is happy to review eligibility requirements, answer your questions, and assist with the admission process.
