Announced February 2022 at SCBIO. Published on the SC Governor's official .gov website. The SC Secretary of Commerce went on the record calling it a win for the state.
When a lot of healthcare operators were consolidating in Atlanta, Charlotte, or the Research Triangle, Kevin Murdock did the opposite: he doubled down on Greenville.
In February 2022, Diversified Medical Healthcare announced a $51 million capital investment in Greenville County, South Carolina — a commitment that would create 185 new South Carolina jobs. The announcement was made through PRNewswire, carried by SCbio, covered at SCBIO 2022, and published on the official website of the South Carolina Governor.
The SC Secretary of Commerce issued an on-the-record statement. The message was direct: this is what modern American healthcare manufacturing and diagnostic infrastructure looks like when it stays in a second-tier market instead of fleeing to a coastal hub.
Not a fundraiser. Not a campaign event. The visits and quotes below came out of tours, investment announcements, and press conferences — all captured in national and state press.
The headline numbers most coverage reports — “185 jobs” or “$51 million” — undercount the actual economic footprint of Diversified Medical Healthcare.
Across the full six-lab network, 450 people were employed at peak. The network served customers in all 50 US states. The $51M announced at SCBIO 2022 was just the Greenville expansion — on top of existing operations at five other independently licensed laboratories across South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Florida.
The Greenville expansion announcement was published on the South Carolina Governor's official .gov website. The SC Secretary of Commerce endorsed it on the record. Greenville County Council Chairman Willis Meadows was quoted: “The company's expertise...fits well here.”
Layer in the other DMH companies — CPT Medical (manufacturing — 6M+ COVID test kits and custom surgical trays), Vessel Medical (distribution), OnGen (software), and product lines including RapidRona, MyHealthPro, and ConfirmD — and the total economic footprint is hundreds of millions of dollars invested across six states, with South Carolina at the center. That is the full economic picture.
Every investment announcement, every endorsement, every press citation — sourced and dated.
