The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has officially broken ground on its newest facility. For families living in Berkeley County, this means world-class healthcare is about to get a whole lot closer to home.
The $130 million project will include a five-story, 192,000-square-foot hospital with a full-service emergency department, radiology, 70 inpatient beds, and specialty care in general medicine, surgery, orthopedics, women’s health, and cardiology. Connected to the hospital will be the Hollings Cancer Center at Nexton, a three-story, 30,000-square-foot outpatient facility offering infusion services, radiation therapy, oncology, and other cancer treatments.
The cancer center is scheduled to open in summer 2027, followed by the hospital in spring 2028.
MUSC leaders said the expansion reflects the county’s rapid growth and the need for high-quality care close to home.
For Nexton residents, the groundbreaking marks more than the construction of a new hospital. It signals the arrival of world-class healthcare minutes away from their homes, ensuring families can count on advanced treatment and everyday care without traveling to Charleston.
