In 1946, the South Carolina General Assembly passed a $4 million bill to construct a new teaching hospital that was brought under the control of the Medical College of South Carolina. Construction began in 1951 and the Medical College of South Carolina Hospital was completed and dedicated on May 10, 1955 with its doors opening on September 26, 1955, to its first patients. It was later renamed to the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital (MUSC) and is now MUSC Health University Medical Center.
