CVETS provides 24-hour emergency care and has 11 specialty services. In 2021, we broke ground on a hospital expansion, and upon completion, our hospital will be approximately 30,000 square feet. You can expect to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the leaders of our hospital so you are constantly seen, heard, and valued directly by those directly at the top.

There, you can go kayaking on the rapids of the Saluda River, check out local artwork at the world-class Columbia Museum of Art, try out the craft beer at some of Columbia’s breweries, or attend a Carolina Gamecock football game at Williams Brice Stadium to get the full experience!

You can enjoy boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, or just lounging by the water on Lake Murray’s shores.
