At its core, the Epic Center represents Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC) North Star, always putting their patients first, with easier access to state of the art care.

West Ashley revitalization is happening. A key goal for the city of Charleston is to help the Citadel Mall. Establishing the new MUSC Epic Center at the Mall, is a major factor in creating a new life and purpose for the Citadel Mall area in West Ashley. MUSC stepped in, worked hard, and presented a life changing and lifesaving gift to West Ashley.

MUSC is the oldest medical school in the South, as well as the state’s only integrated, academic health sciences center, with a unique charge to serve the state through education, research and patient care. In 2019, for the fifth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report named MUSC Health the No. 1 hospital in South Carolina.

Primary Care has opened a brand new clinic at the MUSC Health West Ashley Medical Pavilion. This convenient setting within the Epic Center, again formerly the Citadel Mall, houses specialty care clinics, as well as Primary Care. On-site lab and pharmacy services are available for patients’ use. Ample and free parking is readily available. Providers are accepting new patients at MUSC Health Primary Care – Epic Center to guide you through your wellness journey. The MUSC Health West Ashley Medical Pavilion offers routine wellness and preventive care services and chronic disease management.

Health Care doesn’t have to be complicated, but let’s face it, it can be tricky. When you don’t feel well, you need help. Do you need a primary care doctor, or a specialist? Do you need a referral, a prescription, authorization, or second opinion? Is the care conveniently located and easily accessible? On a daily basis, MUSC takes all these factors into account.

Today, you can make your initial appointment online or on the phone, drive to the West Ashley Medical Pavilion, park with ease, walk in, head to an information booth, and they’ll take it from there. Have a quick look for yourself.

As you make your appointment, you can find a provider, or launch MyChart.

By clicking onto MyChart you will also see all the additional online services provided: refill prescriptions, visit test results, manage appointments, communicate with your doctor, and schedule a virtual appointment.

Many insurance companies cover the $25 cost of the virtual appointment, but if yours does not, it’s only $25 for the convenience of talking to a healthcare professional, and getting your needs cared for without a visit to the doctor.

MUSC Health Virtual Care is an easy way to be treated online for common conditions. No appointment. No waiting rooms. It is accessible 24/7. You wake up one morning with an eye infection. You know what it is, but you need to be seen by a doctor, and prescribed medication. With Virtual Care your needs can be met in as little as 15 minutes.

Virtual Care is a game changer for parents. Taking a sick child to a doctor can be daunting and often times, that’s what it takes to get the child well. How about those times when, as a parent, you know what your child needs, be it a confirmation from a professional, or a prescription. MUSC has simplified the system, and has made your life that much easier.

How about a sweet, furry volunteer?

MUSC volunteers are changing what’s possible in healthcare through pet therapy.

MUSC is proud to be a part of the community, honored to be the health care provider of choice for so many, and humbled that this brand new Medical Pavilion will stand as a symbol of its contribution and commitment to the revitalization of West Ashley.
