AnMed Piedmont opens new standalone ER
AnMed Piedmont, a new 55,000-square-foot medical facility just off Interstate 85 is nearing completion and will open to the public May 12, the health system announced May 5 at a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new health care campus at the corner of Old Williamston Road and S.C. Highway 86 in Piedmont, near exit 35, will open its freestanding emergency department May 12 at 9 a.m. followed by medical office space opening in July.
“Piedmont is growing – our entire region is growing – and we’re called to serve the needs of our community,” said AnMed CEO William Kenley. “This place will make a difference in people’s lives.”

The Emergency Department is the first wing to open on the campus that will ultimately encompass about 55,000 square feet of space for patient care. The campus also incorporates substations for EMS and law enforcement, which are expected to open in July and will help expedite emergency response in the area.
The campus represents an investment of more than $50 million, made possible by funding from the independent, not-for-profit AnMed health system as well as local, state and federal support.
About $11 million of that total came from federal funding secured through the efforts of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was on hand to celebrate the ribbon cutting.
“When I received a request from AnMed to help with the new emergency department, it made perfect sense to me,” Graham said. “As a doctor said, somebody will be alive tomorrow because of what we did today… This is one of the best places in the world to raise a family and start a business, and we’re going to keep it that way.”

Medical office space at AnMed Piedmont is on schedule to open July 14, with family medicine, pediatrics, physical therapy, orthopedics and sports medicine, and other specialty practices in operation.
The project is expected to create 67 jobs by the time of the July medical office opening.
A community event to celebrate the campus opening and provide tours will be held May 10, 9-11 a.m. Food trucks, a Teddy Bear Clinic where children learn about health care, Safe Kids car-seat checks, mobile mammography services, visits with first-responders and more are planned. Admission is free.
