The McLeod Medical Center Historical Marker is an important part of Florence, South Carolinas history and healthcare system. Located at 111 W Cheves St., this marker was unveiled by McLeod Health to celebrate its founding in 1906 by Dr. F.H. McLeod. The marker stands near a beautiful brick house on Palmetto St. and Dargan St., which was once the home of Dr. Frank Hilton McLeod (1868-1944). This historic house is just one piece of the McLeod Medical Center complex, which has grown significantly since its inception over a century ago.

The two-sided marker features an inscription that reads: The McLeod Infirmary was located here in 1906, inspired by the need to provide medical care for local residents. Dr. F.H. McLeods vision and legacy live on through McLeod Health, which has expanded into a system of seven hospitals offering a wide range of medical services to the community. This historical marker serves as a constant reminder of the importance of healthcare accessibility and the impact that Dr. McLeods work had on the lives of countless individuals in the region.
