If the weather does not cooperate the spray dates will be Friday, July 28, and Monday July 31.

  3. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist with hip replacement surgery, Dr. Peter Ramsey, a Grand Strand surgeon with OrthoSC, says the new technology makes his job easier. Erasing the need for the surgeons to do precise measurements needed for the operations themselves, AI acts like a computerized ruler, reading X-rays and plotting the points needed for the operation quickly and precisely.
