MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCBD) – The Department of Health and Environmental Control has granted Trident Health a nine month extension of a certificate of need.
Trident wants to build a new 50 bed acute care hospital in Moncks Corner.
DHEC initially approved the plans in 2009.
The plans have stalled due to concerns of building on wetlands and a need for approval from the Army Corp of Engineers.
