CareSouth Carolina Welcomes Courtney Dowling, FNP-C, to ROADS Mobile Health Unit

CareSouth Carolina is pleased to welcome Courtney Dowling, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner, to its ROADS (Reach Out and Deliver Services) mobile health unit, where she will help provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to students across the Pee Dee region.

Dowling will primarily serve students in public schools throughout Darlington, Lee, Chesterfield, Dillon, and Marlboro counties, helping eliminate barriers to healthcare by bringing medical services directly to school campuses.

With more than seven years of combined nursing and advanced practice experience, Dowling brings a strong background in family medicine, primary care, occupational health and emergency medicine.

"I had the opportunity to complete some of my clinical rotations with CareSouth while I was in nurse practitioner school, so I was already familiar with the organization and its commitment to serving the community," Dowling said. "I've always enjoyed building relationships with patients and their families, and I appreciate CareSouth's dedication to making quality care accessible to everyone."

Through its ROADS mobile health units, CareSouth Carolina works to make healthcare more convenient and accessible for children and families by providing services in school-based settings.

Dowling said the opportunity to help students receive care without requiring families to make additional trips to medical offices is one of the aspects of her new position that excites her most.

"I'm most excited about the opportunity to bring healthcare directly to children in their schools," Dowling said. "Families have so many responsibilities, and finding time for routine appointments isn't always easy. Being able to eliminate some of those barriers while helping children stay healthy is incredibly rewarding. I hope to make healthcare a positive, comfortable experience for the children we serve."

As she begins her work with the ROADS program, Dowling said she looks forward to building relationships with students and families throughout the five counties she will serve.

Outside of work, Dowling enjoys spending time with her family, particularly her two young children. Whether enjoying time at home or taking small adventures together, she values making memories and appreciating life's everyday moments.
