Prisma Health-Upstate Foundation announced a new campaign to raise funding and awareness for critically needed health services and programs in the region.
The OneDay campaign was officially launched during an event on Nov. 19 at Hugenot Mill in downtown Greenville. According to the OneDay website, it will “call for our community to drive change, take action, and reach goals — to connect people with life-changing health services and programs funded by generous philanthropic gifts.”
One initial focus is on raising funds for Prisma’s recently announced $138 million inpatient behavioral health hospital in Pickens County. The new hospital aims to address the rising need for behavioral health services in the Upstate.
The 132,430-square-foot facility will be built on 46 acres at the corner of U.S. Highway 123 and S.C. Highway 153. Construction of the new hospital will begin in spring 2025 and is expected to be completed in 2027.

The South Carolina General Assembly will allocate $100 million to the state Department of Health and Human Services to support the behavioral health hospital.
Prisma Health-Upstate Foundation’s OneDay campaign will include a year-long series of events and activities to raise funding for the new hospital. The first fundraising event is a benefit wine dinner on Nov. 20 at The Anchorage. Tax-deductible donations to the campaign can also be made at prismahealthupstatefoundation.org.
