MUSC to bring mobile clinic to Wagener
MUSC Health will deploy a mobile health unit to Wagener South Carolina to restore access to medical care for residents of the rural area. Wagener with about 676 residents is the largest town in eastern Aiken County and the surrounding rural stretch between Aiken and Columbia. The Wagener Medical Center closed in March 2024 amid broader rural hospital closures and care access concerns. Local residents recall a valued clinic and providers as scarce medical access remains an issue for the roughly 7 000 people in the area.
