Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - Project Physical Location: 4900 Lacross Road, North Charleston, SC 29406 Type of Construction: Design Only Project Scope: Roper Hospital Medical Campus - Design Development Phase Specifications: Architectural and engineering costs to design a 320-bed relocated hospital facility Timeline: September 30, 2024-March 31, 2025 Total CPF/CDS Funding Request: $8,000,000 Total Project Cost: $8,150,000 Project Director: Charles Fletcher, VP, Construction, Real Estate & Support Services Contact Phone Number: 843-606-8319 Email Address: Charles.Fletcher@rsfh.com Website Address: www.rsfh.com/roper The mission of Roper St. Francis Healthcare is healing all people with compassion, faith and excellence. The 657-bed, four-hospital health system consists of more than 100 facilities and services across three counties. With almost 6,000 teammates, Roper St. Francis is one of the South Carolina Lowcountry’s largest private employers and has nearly 1,000 employed or affiliated doctors representing almost every medical specialty. Located on Charleston’s historic peninsula, Roper Hospital has been an essential provider of healthcare for the Lowcountry since 1856. A Roper St. Francis Healthcare flagship facility, Roper Hospital has grown with the community, changing location several times before ending up at its current address at 316 Calhoun Street in 1946. In the intervening 78 years, this downtown location has become land-locked and increasingly flood prone. The primary service area population has grown to more than 830,000 residents across three counties. With the geographic center of Charleston no longer the peninsula city, Roper Hospital is relocating to North Charleston to better serve the Lowcountry community by becoming more easily accessible and centrally located while also upgrading facilities to 21st century standards. The new Roper Hospital Medical Campus will transfer 320 beds from the existing facility on Calhoun Street to a newly acquired 27+/- acre site in North Charleston at the corner of Lacross Road and Mall Drive. This new facility will be a Level II trauma center anchored by core clinical services to include oncology, cardiology, and emergency services. Roper St. Francis Healthcare will utilize federally appropriated funds designated for facilities and equipment for the Design Development Phase of Roper Medical Campus at its new location. The scope of the project will include producing a Design Development Phase costing $8,000,000 in CDS funding and taking an estimated 26 weeks to complete.
