GEORGETOWN, SC – Tidelands Health has earned a regional award for its employee partner health insurance plan.  The health system won the “High Performing Health Plan Award” from Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., which administers Tidelands Health’s benefits and wellness plans.

“Our health plan essentially outperformed similar health plans in the Southeast for value and benefits, thanks to our employee partners’ commitment to health and wellness,” said  Jan Harper, Tidelands Health’s senior vice president and chief human resource officer.
