Piedmont Medical Center first gained approval to build a hospital in Fort Mill, a suburb of Charlotte, N.C., in 2006 — but the medical center faced legal challenges from several hospital systems, including Charlotte, N.C.-based Atrium Health and Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health. The Supreme Court of South Carolina declined to hear Atrium Health’s appeal in the case in 2019, clearing the way for Piedmont.
Plans for Piedmont’s Fort Mill Medical Center call for building a 200,000-square-foot, 100-bed hospital. It is slated to have a three-story bed tower and helipad.
The hospital is slated to open in fall 2022.
