Allendale County Hospital posts updated contact and services online

Allendale County Hospital has published an updated online provider profile listing its location, contact information and the clinical services available to Fairfax and Allendale County residents. The profile gives the hospital address as 1787 Allendale Fairfax Highway, Fairfax, SC 29827, and a main phone number of (803) 632-3311. The hospital's website is listed as achospital.org.

The profile identifies the facility as a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital owned by a local government entity. Administrative identifiers included in the listing—Medicare Provider ID 421300 and NPI 1609866912—are the same numbers residents and providers will see on billing, referrals and insurance paperwork. The profile serves as a compact reference for what the small county hospital offers and how it connects with the regional health system.

Clinical services noted in the profile include a clinical laboratory, CT scan and diagnostic radiology, an emergency department, outpatient rehabilitation, an on-site pharmacy and PT/OT/speech pathology. Respiratory care and dietary services are also listed. These services signal that many routine and urgent needs can be managed locally, while more complex care will likely be transferred to larger centers.

For patients requiring higher-acuity or specialty services, the profile lists nearby hospitals that are commonly used for referrals and transfers: Hampton Regional Medical Center, Optim Medical Center - Screven, Colleton Medical Center, Jenkins County Medical Center and Effingham Hospital. That network information gives a quick sense of where patients might be routed for surgery, intensive care or specialized diagnostics not available at the 25-bed facility.

The immediate value for local residents is practical: a single place to confirm where to call, what services are available and how the hospital fits into regional care. For people without reliable internet, the phone number and address provide a direct line to confirm hours and arrange appointments or transfers. For Medicare and other insured patients, the Medicare Provider ID and NPI help match claims and referrals to the right facility.

The presence of emergency and imaging services locally means fewer long drives for many urgent needs, but the hospital’s small size also means space and specialty options are limited. Our two cents? Call (803) 632-3311 before you go to confirm current hours and services, bring your insurance and ID, and for serious emergencies continue to call 911 so first responders can route you to the best available care.
