Wallace Thomson Hospital
Union, South Carolina
|
From a humble 20-bed start to a vital 143-bed acute care center, the story of the former Wallace Thomson Hospital is deeply woven into the fabric of Union County, serving generations of residents. Built on land generously donated by Emslie Nicholson and initially run by two Spartanburg physicians, it was later named in honor of Dr. A. Wallace Thomson, a respected local physician and the state’s chief surgeon during the Civil War. In May 1925, Mr. Nicholson formally gifted the hospital to the City of Union.
August 2015 marked a new chapter as Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System assumed management, renaming it Union Medical Center. Ten years later, the hospital relocated to a modern facility, leaving behind the original building, a place etched in local memory—and for some, a source of whispers and unanswered questions. For over a century, the former Wallace Thomson Hospital stood as a beacon of healing and service in Union County. Over the years, individuals connected to the hospital have quietly shared accounts of unusual experiences—moments that defied explanation and left a lasting impression. |
