FLORENCE, S.C. (Nov. 9, 2026) – MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, in partnership with Intuitive Health, has opened the Pee Dee’s first combined emergency and urgent care facility, giving patients around-the-clock access to the right level of care in one convenient location.
Located at 1074 S. Soccer Way near Interstate 95 and the Florence Soccer Complex, MUSC Health Emergency and Urgent Care in Florence combines emergency room and urgent care services under one roof. Patients can walk through a single set of doors 24 hours a day, seven days a week and be evaluated by an emergency-trained provider who determines the appropriate level of care, eliminating the guesswork of deciding where to go.
“For the first time in our region, families have access to emergency and urgent care services in one location, anytime they need it,” said Jason Cox, chief executive officer, MUSC Health-Pee Dee Division. “This innovative model brings greater convenience, faster access and peace of mind to patients by ensuring that they can receive the right care, 24 hours a day.”
The 13,134-square-foot facility features a 24/7 on-site laboratory, EKG and advanced imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound and CT. The location is also equipped to receive EMS and ambulance patients, providing seamless access to lifesaving emergency care.
Unlike traditional care settings, patients are only billed for the level of care they receive.
“Patients shouldn’t have to decide between an emergency room and an urgent care center during a stressful health situation,” said Jay Woody, M.D., founder and chief medical officer of Intuitive Health. “This partnership with MUSC Health provides one destination for care, making it easier and more convenient for patients to get the treatment they need.”
MUSC Health Emergency and Urgent Care in Florence will open to patients at 7 a.m. on Nov. 30.
The Florence facility is the second combined emergency and urgent care location opened through the partnership between MUSC Health and Intuitive Health, following a successful opening in Columbia earlier this year. Additional locations are under development in Summerville and West Ashley.
