Formerly the MUSC Children’s Hospital, the University Hospital Extension (UHE) houses additional bed space and clinical areas for the campus hospital, along with clinical offices.
The extension is also currently serving as the university’s library while the MUSC Library and Colbert Education Building are being renovated. Library staff and facilities are currently located here, along with large and small study areas for students.
About MUSC University Medical Center
The University Medical Center is located in historic downtown Charleston.
The University Medical Center is a nationally recognized and leading health sciences university. It is comprised of four hospitals (The Institute of Psychiatry, Children’s Hospital, Ashley River Tower, and University Hospital) and an NCI-designated cancer center, MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. University Medical Center is also home to South Carolina’s only solid organ transplant center, the Level I Trauma Center, as well as one of only two National Telehealth Centers of Excellence.
Although the University Medical Center in Charleston is the hub for our clinical services, MUSC Health provides patient care throughout the state of South Carolina. We have satellite offices to serve patients in their communities from Bluffton to Myrtle Beach and from Mount Pleasant to Greenville.
