MUSC’s Children’s Heart Center offers inpatient and outpatient diagnostic, treatment and follow-up services for a full range of pediatric heart disorders. The Center also serves as the tertiary referral center for the Children’s Heart Program of South Carolina.

Since the earliest days of congenital heart surgery, all of the specialists caring for children with heart disease in the state of South Carolina have worked together to coordinate care and provide the best possible outcomes to our patients. Today more than 20 pediatric cardiologists throughout South Carolina and 3 pediatric cardiac surgeons in Charleston provide that coordinated care. Cardiology groups are based in 4 locations – Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Florence – with outreach clinics in a variety of other statewide cities. To optimize the care of the most critical patients, all of the surgical and catheterization procedures are performed in The Children’s Heart Center at the MUSC Children’s Hospital. This system allows for the highest level of care by the specialized teams listed below while still assuring that most of the patient’s care is delivered closer to home. This coordinated approach is unique to our state and we are proud to work so closely with our statewide colleagues to provide it.
