The South Carolina Department of Public Health has approved Novant Health’s Certificate of Need application to build a 50-bed hospital in Bluffton, South Carolina.
The future Novant Health Bluffton Medical Center is designed to address the increasing healthcare demands of Beaufort and Jasper counties, where many residents have to travel out of town for medical care. Designed with growth in mind, the new full-service hospital will open with 50 beds and can expand to 100 beds as community needs grow. The $320-million facility, anticipated to open in 2028, will offer a wide range of medical specialties.
In addition to the hospital, Novant Health plans to enhance outpatient care in Bluffton with a freestanding emergency department, surgery centers, imaging services, urgent care and primary and specialty clinics.
