Horry County Administrator Awarded

Order of the Palmetto

Horry County Administrator Steve Gosnell has been awarded the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, from Gov. Henry McMaster.

The Order of the Palmetto is presented in recognition of a lifetime of extraordinary achievement, service, and contributions on a national and statewide scale.

Gosnell has served Horry County Government for 31 years, first as a County Engineer, then as Assistant County Administrator for Infrastructure & Regulation, and now as County Administrator.

Over the course of his career, Gosnell has seen the county through a variety of challenges and projects.

Since Gosnell began with Horry County in 1993, the County has grown from 976 employees to 3,200, to serve a community that has grown from 152,000 residents to 420,000. Driving through Horry County today, there is no road you can ride on that Steve and his team have not touched.

Gosnell has been a mentor, a teacher, and a friend to many on Team Horry, within the Horry County community, and across this great state.

Gosnell was joined by family, friends, local leaders, and County staff for a private celebration on Sept. 12, 2024, where South Carolina Representative Kevin Hardee, South Carolina Senator Kent Williams, and Horry County Chairman Johnny Gardner revealed and presented the award (pictured above).

Gosnell plans to retire at the end of 2024.

Horry-Georgetown Technical College, Tidelands Health partner to open education center, significantly expand nursing program

Tidelands Health and Horry-Georgetown Technical College are expanding the organizations’ longtime partnership with an innovative strategy to educate and train more registered nurses to meet growing demand.

Through support from the not-for-profit health system, HGTC is expanding its nursing program to a new location on the Tidelands Health campus in Murrells Inlet.

The partnership is allowing more aspiring nurses to enroll in HGTC’s nursing degree program, which had reached capacity at its locations in Myrtle Beach and Georgetown. The new location’s first cohort of up to 24 nursing students will officially move into the new Tidelands Health HGTC Education Center on the Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital campus this fall when renovations are complete.

“We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for Horry-Georgetown Technical College and the communities we serve,” said Dr. Marilyn Murphy Fore, HGTC president. “Starting in the fall of 2024, we will extend our nursing classes to a new location in Murrells Inlet. This expansion reflects our unwavering commitment to providing accessible and high-quality nursing education. It has been made possible through the generous support and longstanding partnership with Tidelands Health, representing an ongoing collaborative effort to meet the growing

healthcare needs of our region.” Read More
