ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Respondent Georgetown Memorial Hospital submitted and application to Respondent South Carolina Department of Health
and Environmental Control ("Department") for a Certificate of Need (CON) to construct a forty (40) bed hospital in
Murrells Inlet to be known as Waccamaw Neck Hospital. On March 26, 1999, the Department issued its proposed decision
approving Respondent Georgetown Memorial Hospital's CON application. On April 5, 1999, Petitioners, Conway Hospital
and Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, as affected persons, timely filed a Request for Contested Case Hearing with the
Department challenging its decision.
Upon motion of Petitioners, by and with the consent of the Respondents, the Request for Contested Case Hearing is
withdrawn, and therefore, this contested case is hereby dismissed.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
