Today, a group from Scotland Health attended the NC MedAssist Luncheon in Charlotte. We’re grateful for organizations like NC MedAssist that help provide prescription and over-the-counter medications to individuals and families in need.

Through partnerships like this—and the incredible work of our Community Health Workers—we’re able to better support our patients and improve access to essential medications across our communities. 💙

In primary care, Hospice of Scotland County, Scotland Family Counseling Center and the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center, social workers play an essential role in supporting patients and families through every stage of care. Whether they are helping someone navigate a new diagnosis, coordinating resources during a difficult transition, or offering emotional and practical support at end‑of‑life, social workers ensure no one faces challenges alone.

Their compassion, advocacy, and steady presence make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve. We are deeply grateful for the social workers across our system who provide guidance, comfort, and hope every day."

🍀 Feeling extra lucky this St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Scotland Memorial Foundation and the Marketing Team had a great time celebrating our amazing Tartan Club members this morning with St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes in the cafeteria—and deliveries to our clinics and practices so everyone could join the fun. 🧁💚

Last year, 503 employees joined the Tartan Club and gave more than $153,000, supporting teammates in need, patient programs, and so many meaningful projects across Scotland Health.

Plus, we loved handing out brand‑new 80th Anniversary badge clips—hope you grabbed one!

Thank you for giving, caring, and making a difference every day. 💚🍀

💙 Looking Back: The Story of Scotty 💙

In 1999, the Scotland Memorial Foundation took on a special project—one that would leave a lasting impact on the health of our community. With a commitment to reaching residents where they live, work, and gather, the Foundation raised funds to purchase and operate a mobile health unit for Scotland County.

Scotland Mobile Health Care—affectionately known as “Scotty”—was the brainchild and heartfelt commitment of the late Joseph A. Walton III. During his tenure as Vice President of Business and Community Services at Scotland Health Care System, Joe made a tremendous impact on our mission of making the community healthier, especially through outreach and access to care.

Following Joe’s passing, the Walton Family established a memorial fund to continue his vision and dedication to community health. Because of that generosity and the support of so many others, Scotty became a symbol of compassion, service, and proactive care—paving the way for taking health services where the people are.

While Scotty is no longer on the road, Scotland Health continues that mission today by offering a variety of on-site screenings and mobile mammography services at community events, corporate events, and other scheduled locations. The spirit of Scotty lives on through these efforts—meeting people where they are and removing barriers to care.

Today, we remember Scotty not just as a mobile unit, but as a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with heart, vision, and purpose.

Today, Scotland Health CEO David Pope and Dr. Sadhana Char, our newest physician at Laurinburg Family Practice and Urgent Care, had the pleasure of speaking with the residents of Scotia Village.

Dr. Char shared the importance of having a trusted family physician, spoke about her background and education, and invited residents to tour the newly opened practice. Mr. Pope highlighted recent renovations at Scotland Memorial Hospital, discussed future projects—including Scotland Surgical & GI—and shared the latest announcement regarding Wagram Family Practice. He also welcomed questions, and residents were eager to learn more about his background and the system‑wide improvements he and his team are leading.

Thank you to Scotia Village for welcoming us, providing a tour of your beautiful facility and recent renovations, and to the residents who came out to hear from our two speakers. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and share how Scotland Health continues to grow and invest in care close to home.
