A Stronger Year Ahead
Every June, we see a lot of changes at MUSC. It is the end of the fiscal year and we see our current residents leave to begin other endeavors while new residents come on board with us to start their journeys. In many ways, July is a New Year celebration and a start for many exciting things. This year, we closed the fiscal year on the positive side for the Medical Center which was a huge success for the organization. With the challenges of the economy and added debt with the opening of the Ashley River Tower, having a positive bottom line is truly amazing.
I feel confident going into the "new year" that the finances will be on a much more solid footing and we can look forward to new operations for the Children's Hospital. We are currently working to develop a new children's procedural area. The first phase, which we hope to open in September, will house a new pediatric GI suite. Later in the fall, we will open four new procedure rooms that will be shared by many disciplines. This will provide excellent care for the families we serve, in an efficient area that will allow physicians to be more productive.
We will also be opening an after hours care program in the north area. It will provide non emergent care by pediatricians in the afternoons and weekends and will allow families from the Dorchester and Berkley County area to have access to our services.
I'm looking forward to these and other developments at what will surely be another exciting and successful year at MUSC Children's Hospital. As always, we'll have a lot.
