Construction began in 1951, and the Medical College of South Carolina Hospital was finished and dedicated on May 10, 1955, with its doors opened to its first patients on September 26, 1955. It was eventually renamed the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital (MUSC), and it is currently known as the MUSC Health University Medical Center.
