The Columbia healthcare landscape
- Columbia is the healthcare hub of South Carolina’s Midlands region, anchored by two major health systems — Prisma Health and MUSC Health — that together operate multiple acute-care hospitals, specialty centers, and an extensive outpatient clinic network throughout the metro area.
- The University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia has trained physicians in the city for nearly 50 years and is investing $300 million in a new Health Sciences Campus in the BullStreet District, reinforcing Columbia’s role as a medical education and research center.
- Fort Jackson, the largest U.S. Army basic combat training installation, is located within the city limits and generates a significant TRICARE-insured patient population that flows through Columbia’s hospitals and independent practices.
- The Prisma Health Children’s Hospital–Midlands, South Carolina’s first dedicated children’s hospital, and the Prisma Health Richland Level I Trauma Center position Columbia as the primary destination for complex pediatric and trauma cases drawn from across central South Carolina.
