MUSC president David Cole said: “It can take up to 45 minutes to get to the nearest hospital from the Sea Islands. That’s too long for an emergency situation such as a stroke, where every minute counts.

“As the state’s only comprehensive academic health system, we are committed to delivering the best possible care, closest to home.

“This new medical pavilion will provide rapid access to outstanding care for the entire Sea Islands community.”

MUSC stated that a telemedicine network will connect the complete medical facility to some of the top healthcare providers in the US at MUSC Health in downtown Charleston.

Construction work on the new medical facility is slated for completion late next year.

The Town of Kiawah Island has given $1m funding for creating a healing, restful green space and garden near the new facility.
