🎉 Congrats to PCC Board Member Ann Lewis, CEO of CareSouth Carolina, on being named to the 2026 P*e Dee 50 Most Influential list!
We’re proud of Ann’s leadership and the impact she continues to make across rural South Carolina. Well deserved!
Please join us in congratulating CareSouth Carolina's Chief Executive Officer Ann Lewis, who has been named to the 2026 P*e Dee 50 Most Influential list by B2B: P*e Dee Business, recognizing leaders whose work has made a lasting impact on the P*e Dee region and beyond.
Lewis leads CareSouth Carolina, a nonprofit community health care provider serving more than 38,000 patients across 10 rural communities. Under her leadership, the organization has grown from a small clinic into a nationally recognized network of community health centers dedicated to improving access to quality care for underserved populations.
The P*e Dee 50 Most Influential recognition highlights Lewis’s decades of service in health care leadership, her role as chairperson of the South Carolina Primary Health Care Association, and her longstanding involvement with numerous community organizations, including the Coker College Board of Visitors, P*e Dee Area Health Education Consortium, Darlington County Communities in Schools, the P*e Dee Alzheimer’s Association, and many more.
Lewis’s leadership legacy spans more than four decades. She joined CareSouth Carolina in the early 1980s and has guided the organization through periods of growth, financial uncertainty, natural disasters, and a global pandemic, all while remaining focused on the organization’s mission to "enhance the health and well-being of everyone" it serves.
