DHEC gives green light to 2 Lowcountry medical projects
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has approved certificates of need for two new medical facilities in the Lowcountry.
Trident Medical Center received the required approval for its 60-bed free-standing behavioral health facility, which it applied for in May.
The $34.8 million project will be located near Trident’s North Charleston campus and is expected to take 2 1/2 years to complete. The health care system currently has a 17-bed inpatient behavioral health program, as well as outpatient services.
