CareSouth Carolina Welcomes Mariano Razon, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, as New After-Hours Provider

CareSouth Carolina is proud to welcome Mariano Razon, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, to its dedicated team of providers as part of its expanding After-Hours program. Razon brings over seven years of experience in community mental health and now turns his focus to primary care, where he hopes to make a broad and lasting impact.

“I’m very much interested in primary care because it offers a wider spectrum,” said Razon. “After working in mental health, I saw that many patients also had other medical issues. Integrating both mental and physical health care is key to helping people live healthier, more complete lives.”

Razon will be serving patients during CareSouth Carolina’s extended hours, helping fill critical gaps in health care access across the Pee Dee region. With clinics often closed in the evenings, CareSouth’s proactive After-Hours program ensures that individuals and families still have access to timely, comprehensive care—especially for those who cannot visit during traditional workday hours.

“Many no-shows happen simply because patients are working, lack transportation, or have other conflicts during the day,” Razon said. “Being open until 8 p.m. on select weekdays provides much-needed flexibility and helps the community stay on top of their health.”

CareSouth Carolina’s After-Hours program offers late weekday hours at:

• Tuesday – Bishopville
• Wednesday – Cheraw
• Thursday – Bennettsville Main
• Friday – Society Hill

Additionally, Saturday hours (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) will now be offered in Chesterfield, where Razon will also be seeing patients. Hartsville and Dillon have already been offering Saturday clinics from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  

A passionate advocate for prevention and health maintenance, Razon emphasizes the importance of long-term wellness through lifestyle choices and early intervention. “Health care is satisfying work because you’re providing services that help people optimize their lives,” he said. “When you’re healthy, you can do more. My focus is on increasing health span and quality of life.”

When he’s not caring for patients, Razon enjoys mountain biking, gardening with his wife, walking for exercise, spending time at the beach, enjoying the sunrise and sunset, and visiting friends and family.
