Roper St. Francis Healthcare announced on Saturday its plans to sell its downtown Charleston property on Calhoun Street to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) by 2029. This decision follows a unanimous vote by the MUSC Board of Trustees in favor of the acquisition, signaling a significant step in MUSC's strategic expansion.
The purchase of the Calhoun Street facility is a pivotal move for MUSC, aligning with its long-term goals to advance healthcare research and innovation. By acquiring this property, MUSC aims to enhance its ability to develop state-of-the-art healthcare facilities that will support cutting-edge medical research and innovation, further solidifying its position as a leader in the medical field.
The sale is expected to bring about significant changes in the local healthcare landscape, as MUSC continues to expand its footprint and capabilities. For Roper St. Francis, the sale marks a new chapter as they focus on optimizing their resources and services in other locations across the region.
As the transition unfolds over the coming years, both organizations are expected to work closely to ensure a smooth transfer of operations, with minimal disruption to patient care.
