This year, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of MUSC Hollings Cancer
Center, which opened its doors to patients in 1993. A gleaming, energyefficient, 88,000-square-foot new building on the inside, the exterior retained
the facade of the first building on the modern MUSC campus, dating to 1913.
Today, Hollings serves nearly 6,000 patients each year, while researchers
maintain a robust portfolio of basic and translational science research. Through
partnerships with institutions throughout the state, including the MUSC Health
Regional Health Network, Hollings brings the latest care to communities far
and wide. We remain as focused as ever on our mission: to reduce the burden
of cancer on the lives of the people of South Carolina. ◗
It’s always been amongst the
crown jewels. The cancer center
is among our best of the best in
terms of what we can deliver and
what we can do.
