Bluffton's Big Health Boost

Get ready, Bluffton! A new medical hub is on the way. Imagine this: a shiny, three-story building, 54, 000 square feet of space, and a boatload of new medical services to serve Beaufort, Jasper, and Hampton counties. This isn't just any building; it's the MUSC Health Bluffton Medical Pavilion. It's all about making healthcare more accessible and bringing specialized care closer to home. Let's talk jobs. This new spot is set to create nearly 60 new jobs. That's a lot of new opportunities for healthcare professionals in the area. Think about it. No more driving long distances for simple medical services and specialists. The pavilion will offer a full menu of services, from primary care for both adults and kids, to specialized cancer treatments, advanced imaging, and even sleep studies. It even includes a pediatric specialty care and urgent care for those "what do we do now? " moments outside of regular office hours. This isn't just a new building. It's a consolidation of existing services in the area, plus a lot more. Look out for new medical specialties that will be available in the region. Planning. This new hub is scheduled to open in spring 2026. So, mark your calendars and start anticipating a healthier future for the community. Uniting the community. The groundbreaking ceremony for this medical pavilion is slated for February 11. Leaders and physicians from MUSC Health will be there to celebrate, making sure that this project is a community effort.
