S.C. doctors get a sneak peek at ART
More than
600 health care professionals from around South Carolina converged on
Charleston as they visited and participated in MUSC’s Practitioner Open
House Jan. 6 in anticipation of the opening of MUSC’s Ashley River
Tower (ART). 
Guests enjoy the
casual ambiance of ART’s patio/deck area on the second floor and
adjacent to the atrium.The event was an opportunity for MUSC clinicians to meet and interact with their local and statewide colleagues from Columbia, Beaufort, Florence and beyond. Groups toured the facility’s new Chest Pain Center, digestive disease specialty areas, OR and endoscopy suites, Cath/EP labs, and patient areas.
