FLORENCE, S.C. — MUSC Health leaders cut the ribbon Monday on a new west Florence medical center that puts emergency care and walk-in urgent care in a single building, a first for the Pee Dee region.
The center is a joint project of Intuitive Health and the Florence hospital run by MUSC Health. It sits at 1074 S Soccer Way, close to Interstate 95 and the Florence Soccer Complex, and will stay open around the clock.

Patients will have access to an on-site lab along with X-ray, ultrasound and CT scans, according to the health system. MUSC Health said the Florence site is its third combined emergency and urgent care location in South Carolina.
Jason Cox, who heads the MUSC Health Pee Dee Division, said the location was chosen in part to serve the fast-growing western side of the city, which he described as needing a closer access point for care. The system expects to begin treating patients later this month.
The new building operates as part of MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, which ranks among the largest employers in the Florence area.
