West Columbia Transitions Festive Building to New Prisma Health Urgent Care Facility

Community Health Celebration

Exciting Changes Coming to West Columbia!

West Columbia is buzzing with new developments! A property that once celebrated the holidays with fireworks and costumes is transitioning to a crucial new role in the community. The building located at 2501 Augusta Road will soon be home to a brand new Prisma Health urgent care facility. It’s a big change for the location, and the community is eager to see what this means for local health care options.

A New Beginning for a Familiar Place

For years, the building at this address was filled with the excitement of seasonal businesses. Many residents remember the thrill of shopping for fireworks ahead of the Fourth of July and New Year’s holidays, as well as hunting for the perfect Halloween costume at the Halloween Express store during the spooky season. With a rich history of helping folks celebrate their favorite times of the year, it’s heartwarming to see the space evolve into something that will serve a vital purpose year-round.

What to Expect from Prisma Health Urgent Care

While construction is currently underway, a specific opening date for the urgent care facility hasn’t been announced just yet. However, a large Clifton Construction sign outside the building proudly announces that the urgent care center is “coming soon.” This is an exciting step for residents and visitors who may need urgent medical attention, as it will provide a convenient option in a busy commercial area.

The Community’s Needs Addressed

As West Columbia continues to grow, so does the demand for accessible healthcare. The Prisma urgent care facility will be located just east of Interstate 26, a prime area that sees approximately 38,000 cars daily according to the state’s Department of Transportation. That’s a lot of potential visitors who will have easy access to healthcare! With numerous recreational and shopping options nearby—including Hobby Lobby, Walmart, KJ’s grocery store, Planet Fitness, Lowe’s Home Improvement, and a variety of restaurants—this urgent care facility will be in the heart of it all.

Zoning Board Meeting Schedule

In order to pave the way for this new establishment, the city of West Columbia’s zoning board is scheduled to review a request concerning the project. During the Oct. 15 meeting, a variance will be discussed regarding some additional signage for the new health facility. This is an important step in ensuring that the urgent care center is easily visible to those in need of assistance.

A Bright Future Ahead

Community members are optimistic about the arrival of Prisma Health urgent care. With the rise in both population and traffic in the area, this new facility will undoubtedly make a significant impact. While we may miss the thrill of firework sales or last-minute costume shopping, the shift toward a health service-focused establishment could bring a new kind of relief and support to the community. After all, having quick access to medical care is something that everyone can celebrate!

As the construction progresses, residents are eager to learn more about the opening and the services that will be available. It’s a great time to be in West Columbia, and the addition of the Prisma Health urgent care facility is just another sign of the city embracing its growth and prioritizing community health.
