Family Practice
CareSouth Carolina offers a full range of primary care services at all of our centers, providing comprehensive medical care for all members of the family, from infants to the elderly. Because we are committed to the idea that prevention is better than treatment, we also strive to help our patients develop good health habits.
Gynecological Services
At CareSouth Carolina, we feel a special commitment to provide for the needs of women. CareSouth Carolina offers extensive gynecological services. We emphasize what we call "wellwoman gynecology." In addition, our health care providers are sensitive to the special needs of women and are committed to helping our patients become more active in promoting their own health and wellbeing.

We remove the barriers to comprehensive prenatal and infant care. Our prenatal care includes familyplanning counseling, social services, and nutritional counseling to help with the special needs of women during pregnancy.
Pediatric Services
Pediatric care is a vital part of our Family Practice and includes care of both sick and well infants and children. CareSouth Carolina participates in the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program which emphasizes routine checkups and the early diagnosis and treatment of problems. We are dedicated to seeing our youngest clients receive the full benefit of modern preventative medicine and offer a full immunization program.
Geriatric Services
CareSouth Carolina realizes that providing excellent geriatric health care is becoming increasingly important as our population becomes progressively older. Our staff is specially trained in the care of older adults. We are aware of their special needs and we are uncompromising in offering exceptional geriatric services. A perfect example of our commitment to mature adults can be seen in the services we provide through Vantage Point.

Nutrition Services are a significant part of any health program. Our staff provides comprehensive individual and family nutritional counseling in the areas of weight control, prenatal and postnatal counseling, infant feeding, diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, hypertension and others. Currently, CareSouth Carolina is undergoing a partnership with the University of South Carolina where patients with diabetes can receive specific nutritional guidance on how to manage their diet with the disease.
Health Education
Health Education is central to our medical programs. By helping patients become more knowledgeable, we help them to become more competent in monitoring their own health. We offer educational assistance to diabetics, people with high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses as well as those suffering from behavioral health conditions like depression. CareSouth Carolina staff help our clients understand and manage their conditions better. Family planning education programs are also available.

plans that assimilate actual lifestyles and behavior outside the
medical office.
