Carolina Pines Medical Group Walk-in Clinic
from July 2021
by VIP Magazine
In February of this year, Carolina Pines expanded its services by opening a walk-in clinic- Carolina Pines Medical Group Walk-In Clinic. This month we visited Angela Williamson and Elizabeth Newsom, the patientfocused nurse practitioners who help operate the clinic located at 701 Medical Park Drive in Hartsville. Read below to learn more about their practice and how they can tend to your health needs.
First, tell us a little bit about what led you to become a Nurse Practitioner. Angela: "I became a Nurse Practitioner because I wanted to care for my patients on a different level, providing care from the perspective of the whole – mind, body, and soul. I want my patients to feel loved, heard, and cared about. I hope to be a voice for patients as well as the profession." Elizabeth: "Prior to returning to nurse practitioner school, I was a nurse for 23 years in the emergency department. I wanted to provide a higher level of care to patients than my experience as a bedside nurse, so I returned to school to practice primary care."
What are the patients and cases covered in the clinic? Is this similar to urgent care? Elizabeth: "We see individuals and families, from children to adults, with acute problems such as upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, lacerations, sore throats, and earaches, and can perform physicals for sports or work. We can also help you establish care with a primary physician. The walk-in clinic is similar to urgent care, although individuals will only be charged a primary care co-pay as opposed to an urgent care fee."

What sets the walk-in clinic apart from other options in the area? Angela: "Here at the Carolina Pines Medical Group WalkIn Clinic, we are staffed with caring individuals who are patient-centered and care for our patients with love and respect. While we treat acute issues, we will make sure to refer our patients to the next level of care if needed. And for those patients without primary care providers, we will help them find a perfect fit for their chronic needs. We provide easy access to health care and want every patient encounter to be positive, with a personal approach, to make you feel welcome and comfortable."
What are the walk-in clinic hours? Our office hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm. Beginning July 19th we will be offering extended hours of Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm, Saturday, 7am-1pm and Sunday, 1pm-7pm.
How would we contact the clinic? The clinic is located on the Carolina Pines Medical Group campus at 701 Medical Park Drive, Suite 103, in Hartsville. You may contact us by phone at 843-339-2665.
