MUSC Health will build a state-of-the-art outpatient women’s center in Camden that the organizations says will enhance the health and well-being of women in the region.

The groundbreaking was held, Oct. 22, at the future site of the outpatient center, located at 2034 West DeKalb St. on the corner of DeKalb Street and Battleship Road.

The new facility will provide comprehensive women’s health services, including specialized care from women’s health physicians and cutting-edge women’s imaging services, according to a news release from MUSC.

Key features of the women’s center include:

  • Comprehensive women’s outpatient health services from specialists in obstetrics, gynecology and other women-focused disciplines.
  • Advanced women’s imaging services, offering diagnostics such as the latest 3D mammograms, ultrasounds and bone density screenings.
  • A patient-centered design to create a comfortable and supportive environment for women at every stage of life, including meeting space as well as prenatal and postnatal care classes.

“MUSC Health is thrilled to be bringing this project to life, as it aligns with our mission of providing accessible, innovative health care,” Dr. Tallulah Holmstrom, chief medical officer of MUSC Health Kershaw Medical Center, said in the release. “Women’s health is a priority for MUSC Health, and we are proud to take this important step in serving the women of Kershaw County. This facility will enable us to deliver more specialized services right here in our community, allowing for more convenient access to care.”

By integrating physician services and imaging under one roof, the center will make it easier for women to navigate their health care journey with seamless coordination between various services.

Construction is anticipated to be completed by spring 2025.
