MUSC Imaging Center Coming to Former Walgreens in Florence

MUSC is working to open a medical imaging center at the location of the former Walgreens on the corner of Cherokee and Irby street in downtown Florence.

The location is expected to open in the fall and has been in the works for about a year, according to Chief Operating Officer Jason Cox.

“It has medical imaging and so that is things like X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, CT scanners and MRI scanners,” Cox said. “So patients will often get orders from their doctor to have a certain imaging study and to follow up with them after that study.

“So this creates a new access point that’s not located inside a hospital. A lot of those specialized imaging machines are inside hospitals.”
