INDIAN LAND, S.C. (June 23, 2026) – 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.
Indian Land is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Charlotte region, with Lancaster County’s population increasing 12.7% since 2020. This growth, supported by new housing, commercial investment and infrastructure development, is increasing demand for accessible, high-quality health care across the community.
“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., FACS, 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. This is how we advance our mission and create a more connected system of care for the future.”
Located at 9280 Charlotte Highway, the new MUSC Health Indian Land Medical Center and MUSC Health Medical Pavilion will include a three-story 62,000-square-foot medical office building alongside a 51-bed hospital. Together, these facilities will 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 through the NCI- accredited Hollings Cancer Center.
Additional services will include emergency care, imaging, laboratory services and a retail pharmacy, supporting a seamless, coordinated care experience for patients and families.
The project reflects MUSC Health’s ongoing commitment to improving access, strengthening continuity of care and supporting healthier communities across the Catawba region and beyond.
“This is an important investment in the health and future of Lancaster County,” said J. Scott Broome, CEO of MUSC Health-Catawba Division. “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.”
The pavilion is expected to open in spring 2027, followed by the hospital in 2028, expanding access to advanced, patient-centered care and helping South Carolina residents receive care locally.
