The 120,000-square-foot facility brings advanced specialty care, surgical services and two Centers of Excellence to Northeast Columbia
Prisma Health hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the upcoming opening of its new $128 million Northeast Medical Park which was attended by community leaders, healthcare professionals and local officials. The state-of-the-art, 120,000-square-foot facility officially opens to patients on November 3, offering a wide array of outpatient services in one convenient, patient-centered location on 1120 Roberts Branch Pkwy in Columbia.
Strategically located along the I-77/Killian Road corridor, the four-level medical park is designed to meet the needs of the rapidly growing communities of Northeast Columbia, Blythewood, Winnsboro and surrounding areas. The expansive facility features easy drop-off access, ample parking and proximity to public transportation.
The Northeast Medical Park brings together more than a dozen medical specialties under one roof, including internal medicine, family medicine, OB/GYN, cardiology, orthopedics, physiatry, gastroenterology, vascular care, neurology, endocrinology, pain medicine, behavioral health and outpatient surgery.
Key features of the complex include:
- Centers of Excellence in Cardiology and Orthopedics
- Four advanced operating rooms supporting same-day surgical procedures
- Two-room GI center and four-room ambulatory surgery center
- 110 exam rooms to expand access to primary and specialty care
- A comprehensive range of diagnostic and treatment services including laboratory, imaging, and cardiac and physical rehabilitation
- A full-service and drive-through pharmacy, allowing patients to fill prescriptions on-site
- Orthopedic Convenient Care offering walk-in services and extended hours, Monday–Saturday
- An Apex Athletic Performance location which provides personal training, fitness and sports performance programs to help prepare athletes for intense competition
The comprehensive healthcare services offered at Northeast Medical Park creates new career opportunities in the area and is expected to employ more than 70 team members.
“Moving appropriate outpatient surgical cases to a dedicated site like this offers many patient benefits, including easier access, lower costs and improved patient experience. At our local hospitals, this also helps improve capacity for growing inpatient volumes and for those who need longer stays,” said Jennifer Montgomery, Prisma Health Midlands Market CEO. “We are also proud to be creating more new jobs for skilled healthcare professionals in the Midlands.”
Dr. Patrice M. Weiss, chief medical officer for Prisma Health Medical Group, Midlands, and chief academic officer, is excited about all the new facility will offer to the community. “This state-of-the-art outpatient facility will offer greater access to surgical care at a lower cost than in-hospital procedures, with the same level of expert care. The Northeast Medical Park exemplifies our commitment to offering a wide array of primary, specialty and surgical services outside the traditional hospital setting.”
“I’m thrilled for the grand opening of Prisma Health’s new Northeast Medical Park in Senate District 19,” said South Carolina Senator Tameika Isaac Devine of District 19. “This facility will significantly expand access to exceptional medical services and reduce barriers to care, and I am grateful to Prisma Health for this demonstration of its commitment to the health and well-being of the people in our growing community.”
