Charleston, S.C.-based MUSC Health is investing $30 million to expand the number of emergency department beds at its hospital in Columbia, according to a news release sent to local news outlets Sept. 18. When complete, the expansion will nearly double the number of beds in the ED at MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center Downtown.

根据9月18日发送给当地新闻媒体的新闻稿，总部位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的马斯克健康中心（MUSC Health）正在投资3000万美元，以扩大其位于哥伦比亚的医院的急诊病床数量。扩建完成后，马斯克健康中心（MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center）市中心急诊病床数量将增加近一倍。

The project will allow the hospital to provide more advanced emergency services, including trauma and stroke care. It comes amid significant population growth in the city of Columbia, hospital officials said. The project is expected to be finished by early 2026. 'Our normal ER operations will continue uninterrupted,' Bill Phillips, MD, the hospital's chief medical officer, told CBS affiliate WLTX.

该项目将使医院能够提供更先进的急救服务，包括创伤和中风护理。医院官员表示，这是在哥伦比亚市人口大幅增长之际发生的。该项目预计将于2026年初完成。医院首席医疗官比尔·菲利普斯（BillPhillips）医学博士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）附属公司WLTX，“我们正常的急诊手术将不间断地继续进行。”。

'The clinical lab space will move first, that space will then be renovated, and then the current part of the ER will be renovated following that, so there's no disruption in care.'.

“临床实验室空间将首先移动，然后对该空间进行翻新，然后再对急诊室的当前部分进行翻新，因此不会中断护理。”。
