MUSC will buy the acres in Indian Land, S.C., for $10 million. The land, which is part of the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia metropolitan area, is located along the North Carolina and South Carolina state line, according to the report.
The purchase comes about a year after the health system bought the nearby 211-bed Lancaster (S.C.) Medical Center.
MUSC CEO Patrick Cawley, MD, said the new facility will be in the northern part of Lancaster County, to serve a broader population, according to the report.
The health system’s board approved the purchase Feb. 13.
