We provide the broadest range of advanced care devoted exclusively to the well-being of children.

MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital

MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital (SJCH) is the tertiary hub of MUSC Children’s Health and one of the Southeast's leading children's hospitals. Opened in February 2020 as a state-of-the-art replacement for the MUSC Children's Hospital on Ashley Avenue, the 250-bed facility was purpose-built to deliver the most advanced, family-centered pediatric care available — under one roof and across the entire state.

MUSC SJCH offers specialized care in more than 27 pediatric subspecialties, supported by a robust telehealth network that extends the hospital's reach to families in every corner of South Carolina. Whether a child requires routine specialty follow-up or the most complex interventional care, MUSC SJCH serves as the definitive resource for South Carolina's children and their families. This commitment to statewide access extends beyond the walls of a single facility: MUSC SJCH is an active and founding participant in the South Carolina Children's Hospital Collaborative (SCCHC), a partnership among South Carolina's children's hospitals dedicated to ensuring that every child in the state — regardless of geography or circumstance — receives consistent, high-quality pediatric care.

Through the Collaborative, MUSC SJCH works alongside partner institutions to align clinical standards, share expertise, and jointly deliver specialized services that no single hospital could sustain alone. Among the statewide programs coordinated through the SCCHC are:

• Child Abuse Pediatrics, providing a coordinated, trauma-informed response to suspected abuse and neglect, with specially trained child abuse pediatricians and multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively with partner hospitals, child advocacy centers, and child protective services agencies across the state
• Pediatric Inpatient Rehabilitation, extending access to specialized rehabilitative care for children recovering from serious illness, injury, or surgery — ensuring that families throughout South Carolina can access these services closer to home
• Additional collaborative service lines that reflect a shared commitment to closing gaps in pediatric care access statewide

This collaborative model reflects MUSC SJCH's belief that advancing children's health in South Carolina is a shared responsibility — and that partnership is the path to better outcomes for all of the state's children.

MUSC SJCH is also home to an unmatched collection of programs and designations that exist nowhere else in the state:

• South Carolina's only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center and Emergency Department, providing the highest level of readiness and expertise for children experiencing life-threatening injuries or emergencies
• South Carolina's only pediatric burn center, delivering specialized, multidisciplinary care for children with serious burn injuries
• South Carolina's only pediatric solid-organ and bone marrow transplant programs, offering children with organ failure and hematologic conditions access to life-saving therapies without leaving the state
• The largest Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in South Carolina, equipped and staffed to care for the most critically ill and premature newborns
• A Level 1 Children's Surgery Center, verified by the American College of Surgeons Children's Surgery Verification Quality Improvement Program — a distinction that reflects the hospital's commitment to the highest standards of surgical safety and outcomes
• An Advanced Fetal Care Center, bringing together maternal-fetal medicine specialists and pediatric subspecialists to evaluate and plan care for pregnancies complicated by complex fetal diagnoses

MUSC Children's Health Pediatric Cardiology and Heart Surgery Program is nationally recognized as one of the finest pediatric cardiac programs in the United States, ranked #4 in the country by U.S. News & World Report's Best Children's Hospitals 2025–2026. The program is built on a nationally unique model: a fully integrated, statewide collaboration of pediatric heart surgeons and cardiologists who work together across multiple sites to ensure that children throughout South Carolina have access to world-class cardiac care regardless of where they live. 

Pearl Tourville Women's Pavilion

Housed within MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital, the Pearl Tourville Women's Pavilion (PTWP) represents a truly integrated approach to maternal and newborn care. By co-locating obstetrical services alongside the full spectrum of pediatric subspecialty expertise, the Pavilion is uniquely positioned to optimize safety and improve outcomes for both routine and high-risk pregnancies.

The Advanced Fetal Care Center, embedded within the Pavilion, is a specialized program dedicated to families expecting babies diagnosed with complex congenital conditions or medical challenges before birth. Board-certified maternal-fetal medicine providers work in close collaboration with a large, multidisciplinary team of pediatric specialists — including surgeons, cardiologists, neurologists, and neonatologists — to develop individualized care plans that begin before delivery and carry seamlessly through birth and beyond.

The Pearl Tourville Women's Pavilion is among only a small number of women's facilities in the nation to offer couplet-care rooms, an innovative model that allows mothers and newborns — including those requiring intensive-level monitoring — to recover together in the same room. This approach keeps families united during a critical time, supports bonding and breastfeeding, and reflects MUSC's deep commitment to patient- and family-centered care.

 MUSC Women's Health - A Statewide Network 

MUSC's commitment to women's health extends far beyond the walls of the Pearl Tourville Women's Pavilion in Charleston. Through MUSC Health's regional divisions, women across South Carolina have access to a comprehensive continuum of obstetrical and gynecological services delivered close to home — supported by the clinical expertise, safety standards, and subspecialty resources of one of the nation's leading academic medical centers.

Community-based obstetrical and gynecological care is available across four MUSC Health divisions. Across all four divisions, community OB and gynecology practices are integrated into the larger MUSC Health system, allowing for seamless referrals and care coordination when patients require higher levels of care — including maternal-fetal medicine consultation, access to the Advanced Fetal Care Center, or delivery at a facility with advanced neonatal support. This hub-and-spoke model ensures that women throughout South Carolina benefit from consistent, evidence-based care regardless of where they live, while maintaining access to the full resources of MUSC Health when complexity demands it.

This statewide women's health network reflects MUSC's enduring mission: to improve the health and well-being of all South Carolinians — from the earliest moments of life onward.
