OrthoSC, the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, will host a charity basketball collection and ribbon-cutting ceremony for OrthoSC’s new Market Common Urgent Care on March 1 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at 3620 Walton Drive. Basketball donations will be presented to Horry County Special Olympics during the event. Practice staff, the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, area Special Olympics board members and Horry County Ambassador athletes will be in attendance. Residents seeking orthopedic care or wanting to find out more about the basketball donation are encouraged to call 843-353-3460.

Local providers, community members and media are all invited to the event, which will feature a donation ceremony to the local Special Olympics chapter. The basketball collection will serve to ensure Horry County Special Olympics athletes can train and compete. The practice will have a collection table at the event where attendees and community members can donate women’s and men’s basketballs for athletes to use. 

Through the newly opened orthopedic Urgent Care, OrthoSC providers will accommodate patients with urgent orthopedic needs and help area residents save time in receiving care while also reducing emergency room traffic. Also available at OrthoSC’s North Myrtle Beach location, the Urgent Care delivers same-day consultation with an orthopedic specialist for acute orthopedic needs seven days a week. The service includes care for:

• Bone, joint and muscle injuries.
• Sprains and strains.
• Fractures and dislocations.
• Sports-related injuries. 

“OrthoSC is here to keep the Grand Strand community strong,” says OrthoSC CEO Andrew Wade, M.B.A., C.M.P.E. “That starts with how we care for our patients every day and continues with how we care for our community — as part of that dedication, we’re proud to offer expert orthopedic Urgent Care services seven days a week and show support for the local athletes of Special Olympics Area 16.”
