Oconee Memorial Hospital Foundation develops philanthropic resources to support and enhance patient care in Oconee County and the Greater Clemson area through services led by Prisma Health.
Partnering with our community since 2001, Oconee Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $23 million to provide the very best health care for you, your family and your friends.
Contributing to the health of our community is a sensible investment now and a sound investment for the future well-being of our community.
William Doyle, MD and wife Lila, a nurse, shared a passion for community health. When approached to help build a local hospital in Oconee County, they graciously donated 15 acres of farmland they owned in Seneca.
A group of community leaders then set about to raise the funds needed to build the hospital. Fueled by a great deal of hard work and community spirit, Oconee County Hospital opened on January 31, 1939, at the site where Lila Doyle Rehab and Nursing Care Facility sits today. Oconee County Hospital is now Oconee Memorial Hospital, a part of Prisma Health.
Through their initial gift of land and the large estate gift bequeathed upon their deaths, the Doyle’s truly are the parents of community health in our area.
