Are you or a loved one in need of some emotional or spiritual support during your visit? Learn about Pastoral Care at MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center Downtown.

The MUSC Medical Center supports a patient-and family-centered approach to care. Family members are not considered visitors to a loved one who is hospitalized. They are key participants in support, decision-making, and care. We do not have visiting hour restrictions and two people are always welcome at the bedside 24 hours a day.

Parking

Parking is marked and available at both campuses near the hospital. Visitors at the Northeast campus should use the parking lot nearest the main entrance canopy.
