Hospitals and pharmacies preparing for potential impacts from Hurricane Florence

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - As Hurricane Florence approaches the Atlantic Coast, hospitals in our area are preparing for the potential impacts from the storm. Director of emergency management at Conway Medical Center, Daniel Adamczyk, says they are hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. That's why they have a disaster plan in place. Conway Medical Center is not in an evacuation zone and Adamczyk said the emergency department plans to stay open and accept patients through the storm. He said CMC will work closely with government agencies and other hospital organizations to ensure patients will be transferred safely, if needed.
