Novant Health announced a new healthcare hub in Dorchester County, breaking ground on a medical office building and freestanding emergency department in the Summers Corner community. The development will bring comprehensive, convenient care closer to home for patients in Dorchester County and the surrounding area. 

The new campus will include a 32,000-square-foot medical office building offering primary care and specialty services, along with convenient parking to enhance patient accessibility. 

Adjacent to the medical office, the 11,000-square-foot emergency department will feature 10 exam rooms, one trauma room and one triage bay, along with advanced imaging services including CT, ultrasound and X-ray. An on-site laboratory will allow for timely diagnostics and faster care decisions. 

The project continues Novant Health’s significant investment across the Lowcountry. In 2025, team members broke ground on the new Center for Women’s Health at East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant, and construction is underway on a freestanding emergency department on Daniel Island. 

Additionally, Novant Health continues to grow its primary care network statewide, adding new clinics and providers to better serve patients throughout the region. 

Novant Health Summers Corner is expected to open in late 2026.
