MUSC Health leaders, physicians and community partners gathered Tuesday for a topping out ceremony marking a major construction milestone for the future MUSC Health Indian Land Medical Center and MUSC Health Indian Land Medical Pavilion.
The new campus, located at 9280 Charlotte Highway, comes as Indian Land continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the Charlotte region. Lancaster County’s population has increased 12.7 percent since 2020, a surge in growth supported by new housing, commercial investment and infrastructure development that is driving demand for accessible, high quality health care close to home.
“Reaching this milestone reflects a long term commitment to improving how and where care is delivered across South Carolina,” said David J. Cole, M.D., president of the Medical University of South Carolina. “Facilities like this extend our reach and make it possible for more patients and families to access care closer to home. When we expand access to care, we strengthen families, improve outcomes, and build healthier communities across our state.”
When complete, the project will include a three story medical office building totaling 62,000 square feet, alongside a 51 bed hospital. Together, the two facilities are designed to offer a wide range of services, including heart and vascular care, neurology, rheumatology, transplant services, urology, orthopedic and sports medicine, primary care, women’s health, and advanced medical and radiation oncology delivered through the National Cancer Institute accredited Hollings Cancer Center.
Additional planned services include emergency care, imaging, laboratory work and a retail pharmacy, all intended to support a coordinated care experience for patients and families in the region.
J. Scott Broome, chief executive officer of MUSC Health Catawba Division, said the investment is meant to keep pace with the area’s growth.
“This is an important investment in the health and future of Lancaster County,” Broome said. “As this community continues to grow, so does the need for high quality care that is both accessible and connected. This facility will allow us to meet those needs while keeping patients at the center of everything we do.”
Project Timeline
According to MUSC Health, the medical pavilion is expected to open in spring 2027, with the hospital following in 2028. Officials say the project reflects the health system’s broader effort to improve access and continuity of care across the Catawba region.
