LAURINBURG — Scotland Health recently announced that construction will begin soon on a state-of-the-art Endoscopy Center.
The center is set to be built on Lauchwood Drive, across the road from Scotland Memorial Hospital. The 16,000-square-foot building will feature 20 exam rooms, six physician offices, and modern procedure rooms to enhance patient care and operational efficiencies.
This new facility will also house Scotland Surgical and Gastroenterology (GI), offering expanded access and capacity to better serve its local communities.
Dr. Shelly Lowery, Chief Medical Officer of Scotland Health, expressed excitement for the project, highlighting the increased office and procedure space that will support the growth of Scotland’s general surgery and endoscopic services.
“With a completion date slated for late summer 2026, Scotland Health looks forward to the enhanced services and opportunities this new facility will bring to the region. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting development,” said a Scotland Health spokesperson.
The new center represents the latest development in a line of expansion projects the health care system has taken on. The former Plaza Road Walgreens was transformed into the Laurinburg Family Practice and Urgent Care, which is a consolidation of Wolonick Family Practice and Harris Family Practice. Officials celebrated the opening of the new facility last month.
Last year, the Scotland Memorial Hospital opened its doors to the public to showcase its largest expansion since the 1980s, which featured an Imaging Department, a renovated Surgical Services Department, and a six new operating room facility.
