Rendering of new Facility prior to Construction by MUSC.
Although not directly in Florence County, MUSC Health has a new facility near Lake City in northern
Williamsburg County. This is bringing a vast new network of health care resources and capabilities to the region
to serve the residents in southern Florence County.
The 63,500-square-foot hospital replaces two medical facilities including the Lake City Community Hospital and
the Williamsburg Regional Hospital.
Named Black River Medical Center, it is slated to open January 2023. This new state of the art medical facility
was made possible by the collaborative effort of Florence and Williamsburg Counties. The two communities had
separate hospitals, one in Lake City and one in Kingstree. Merging the two hospitals and partnering with MUSC
will provide medical care with the most up to date equipment and facility to the residents in the Lake City
region.
