For over 40 years, Low Country Health Care System (LCHCS) has been dedicated to providing accessible, quality health care to residents across Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, and Aiken Counties. As a non-profit, community- driven organization, we’ve grown and evolved to meet the unique needs of our neighbors, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they deserve. Founded in 1977 as the Allendale County Rural Health Program, Inc., LCHCS began as a response to a critical need for affordable, high- quality primary care in Allendale County. By 1998, our organization expanded its reach and transitioned into Low Country Health Care System, Inc., becoming a Federally Qualified Health Center the following year. Our journey started in Fairfax, SC, where we still maintain a presence. Over the years, we’ve expanded to serve additional communities, establishing new facilities and services to make a greater impact. Today, LCHCS operates several health centers, including the Family Medical Center of Blackville (established in 2001), Barnwell Family Medicine (2005), Barnwell Pediatrics (2014), Williston Family Medicine (2016), Padgett Family Practice in Bamberg (2018), Barnwell Family Specialty Services (2019), Bamberg Specialty Services (2019), and Aiken Family Medicine (2020). We also operate pharmacies to further support our communities and offer many specialized services. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, our mission goes beyond health care. We advocate for equal access to quality, comprehensive services and are committed to reducing health disparities in South Carolina. By providing integrated, patient-centered care, we not only treat illness but also promote overall well-being. This commitment ensures that we remain a trusted safety net for medically underserved and uninsured populations.
Together with our community, we look forward to continuing our journey of care, compassion, and collaboration for years to come.
