“As many as 1 in 12 pregnancies are affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia.”

Amanda Pearsall, RN-SANE, saw an opportunity to make a difference, and now her Blue Bands Save Lives initiative is getting a boost through MUSC’s Employee Initiative Grant.

The program provides postpartum patients at risk for preeclampsia with a blue wristband to alert EMS and ED providers, plus home BP cuffs and education.

“I will work with our OB, ED and EMS providers to give our postpartum moms the best care possible in Lancaster and Chester," Amanda says.

Thanks for all you do, Amanda!

Born and raised in Chester, Dr. Courtney Wright always knew she wanted to give back to the place that raised her. Now, she’s doing just that, bringing compassionate, patient-centered care to MUSC Health Lowrys Primary Care.

“My heart is near and dear to medicine. I always knew that I wanted to help others, but I just felt a strong desire to come back and give to my community,” said Wright. “I feel like my community has sewn so much into my life and helped me to become the physician that I am today.”

Dr. Wright provides thoughtful, evidence-based primary care, including women’s health services and on-site diagnostic tools like point-of-care ultrasound.

She's now accepting new patients in Chester.

Last weekend, 76-year-old Earline Washington stepped up to the pitcher’s mound and threw the first pitch at Sunday’s Charleston RiverDogs game.

Living with sickle cell disease hasn’t stopped her from breaking barriers. She was the first African American woman commissioned as a Deputy Sheriff in Orangeburg County and helped found the Orangeburg Area Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation.

We loved having her out for MUSC Health Family Sunday. What a special moment!
