Piedmont Medical Center is set to open the first emergency facility in Indian Land, South Carolina, by spring 2026. This facility aims to significantly enhance local healthcare access for residents who previously faced challenges in receiving timely emergency care.
The new emergency facility will span 10,000 square feet and be equipped with 12 private exam rooms, two trauma rooms, one triage room, and an ambulance bay. It will also feature advanced imaging capabilities, including CT scans, X-rays, ultrasound, and laboratory testing, ensuring patients have access to critical diagnostic services.
Local residents have expressed a pressing need for emergency medical services in their community. Previously, individuals have traveled to Pineville for urgent care, which has often been overcrowded. The opening of this local facility will provide residents with quicker access to necessary medical attention, emphasizing the importance of having emergency care options closer to home.
Chris Mitchell, CEO of Piedmont Medical Center Fort Mill, highlighted the overwhelming growth experienced in Indian Land and the accompanying demand for local emergency services. He noted that in emergency medicine, “minutes matter,” underscoring how the new facility is expected to improve access to timely care for the community.
The construction of the building is currently underway, with the aim of better serving the burgeoning population of Indian Land. This area has experienced substantial growth over the last quarter-century, with the population increasing from approximately 7,000 to over 61,000 residents. Previously, residents had to seek emergency care across the state line in North Carolina, illustrating the local relevance and significance of the new emergency facility.
In addition to Piedmont Medical Center’s emergency facility, a 52-bed MUSC hospital is also planned for Indian Land, expected to open in late 2027. This hospital will feature a three-story, 62,000-square-foot medical office building as part of a $300 million project aimed at expanding healthcare options in this fast-growing area. The medical office building is anticipated to offer specialized services that will further enhance local healthcare access.
By 2027, residents of Indian Land will begin to notice improved local healthcare services, contributing to a more robust healthcare infrastructure to support the community’s rapid growth.
