The first project approved by the board is a $395 million, 70-bed Nexton Medical Center and a 30,000-square-foot cancer medical office, which would be located in Berkeley County, S.C., a spokesperson for MUSC said in a statement shared with Becker’s.
A 50-bed Indian Land Medical Center and a 60,000-square-foot medical office in Lancaster County, S.C., was also approved for up to $310 million.
Now that Dr. Cawley has received board approval for both projects, MUSC will need approval from the State Fiscal Accountability Authority to receive market loans, the spokesperson confirmed.
