Founded in 1965, Friendship Medical Clinic & Pharmacy is the oldest free medical clinic in South Carolina. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the clinic provides a primary medical care home, as well as medications, for qualifying uninsured adults, through our full-service, state-licensed pharmacy located within the clinic.

The clinic has two full-time paid personnel, an executive director and four part-time employees. Without the support of 58 volunteers, Horry County would not have a free clinic to serve a vital need in our community. Clinic volunteers are committed to the belief that everyone deserves medical care and they generously donate their time and skills.
