Synovus and Pinnacle Financial Partners donate $250,000 to support new MUSC comprehensive cancer hospital

CHARLESTON, SC., Oct. 2, 2026 - Pinnacle Financial Partners, which merged with Synovus earlier this year, has donated $250,000 to support a new comprehensive cancer hospital to be built by MUSC Health, the healthcare system of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston, South Carolina.

The new comprehensive cancer hospital will bring inpatient and outpatient cancer services together in one patient-centered facility expanding access to highly specialized care and clinical trials.

"We are proud to support a project that will have a lasting impact on the health and well-being of communities across South Carolina," said Mary Garcia, SC Coastal Market, Pinnacle Financial Partners. "The new MUSC Comprehensive Cancer Hospital represents an investment in patients and families, while helping improve cancer care outcomes for people throughout the state."

Anchored by the Hollings Cancer Center, South Carolina's only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, the new comprehensive cancer hospital will strengthen the integration of patient care and research and support Hollings' ongoing pursuit of National Cancer Institute's highest designation: Comprehensive Cancer Center status.

"We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters and the confidence they have placed in this vision," said Adam Bacik, MHA, CEO of the MUSC Comprehensive Cancer Hospital. "Their investment will help create a patient-centered environment, bringing specialized cancer services, research and innovation together in one location. Every contribution helps advance our goal of delivering an exceptional experience for patients and families facing cancer."

Construction is expected to begin later this year and be completed by 2030.
