Hospital Infrastructure in South Carolina
South Carolina's 67 hospitals serve 5.1 million residents, with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston serving as the state's flagship academic medical center and primary Level I trauma center. Prisma Health, formed from the merger of Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health, is the state's largest health system, operating hospitals in both the Upstate and Midlands regions. MUSC has expanded its reach through a network of affiliated hospitals across the state. South Carolina's rapidly growing coastal communities have driven hospital expansion in the Charleston and Myrtle Beach areas. The state faces healthcare disparities between urban and rural areas, with the Pee Dee and Low Country regions having limited hospital access. Roper St. Francis Healthcare is a major provider in the Charleston area. The state has invested in telemedicine and mobile health units to serve rural communities. South Carolina's medical schools at MUSC, the University of South Carolina, and the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine are training the next generation of physicians for the state.
