Lexington hospital loses appeal for heart center
Lexington Medical Center failed to overturn a DHEC denial of its heart catheterization center. Administrative Law Judge John Geathers upheld the 2004 decision, despite efforts in the State House to override it. The hospital and supporters vow to pursue next steps while Palmetto Health and Sisters of Charity Providence Hospital argue the project would pull patients from existing programs.

Officials push for full 22 mile widening of Highway 17
Beaufort and Colleton officials urge the state to widen the entire 22 mile stretch of U.S. Highway 17 at once citing safety concerns. The plan would cost about 223 million dollars, 130 million more than current Beaufort County funding, with 33 fatalities since 1997 including a 2004 Navy bus crash near Gardens Corner. Local leaders say doing it in one go could save money long term.
