Long-planned hospital in Fort Mill on track to open in September

FORT MILL, S.C. — After first seeking approval to build a new hospital in Fort Mill back in 2004, Tenet Healthcare Corp.’s Piedmont Medical Center-Fort Mill is finally approaching its grand opening.

Chris Mitchell, CEO of the new hospital, said the 200,000-square-foot, 100-bed facility is targeting Sept. 7 to fully open and treat patients. Piedmont Medical Center-Fort Mill will include an emergency department, intensive care unit and medical-surgical unit, as well as women’s services and other surgical services. A three-story, 60,000-square-foot medical office building is also on the site at S.C. Highway 160 and U.S. Highway 21.

More than 15 years after applying to build the hospital, Piedmont Medical received approval to do so in 2019. Construction on the long-awaited project began in the spring of 2021. The facility will also complement the company’s existing operations at the long-standing Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill.
