Lexington Medical Center

We're excited to announce a partnership with University of South Carolina to creatively solve two challenges — the nursing shortage and the growing need for primary care physicians. 

Lexington Medical Center will build a 50,000-square-foot state-of-the-art nursing simulation center and teaching space on our hospital’s campus to provide clinical training for UofSC’s growing nursing student population. This new space will allow UofSC to increase its number of nursing graduates by 80% annually. 

We have also begun a new graduate medical education (GME) affiliation with UofSC to help meet local and statewide needs for primary care physicians. Our hospital's first GME program will be in family medicine and accept 13 residents per year beginning next summer. 

Working together, we're improving the health of our communities for generations.
