Dillon Native Lucy Owens Serving Her Hometown as Pharmacist at CSC Community Pharmacy

DILLON, SC – A proud Dillon native, Lucy Owens is serving her hometown community as the Pharmacist in Charge at CSC Community Pharmacy, part of CareSouth Carolina.

Owens brings a deep-rooted passion for pharmacy and a personal connection to her role. Diagnosed with asthma as a child, she had to take daily medication—an experience that she said sparked her early interest in the field. 

“My great-grandfather was a pharmacist in Dillon, and I just so happened to be good in math and chemistry,” she said. “It all came together.”

She joined CareSouth Carolina nine years ago and was initially hired to open the Bennettsville pharmacy location. When the Dillon site opened, Owens jumped at the opportunity to return home. 

“I worked in Dillon for about ten years before going to Bennettsville, so it’s really special to come back home,” she said. “It’s nice to be home and see familiar faces.”

At CSC Community Pharmacy in Dillon, Owens leads a team dedicated to providing friendly, efficient service with a focus on affordability and accessibility. 

“You don’t have to be a CareSouth Carolina patient to use the pharmacy,” she explains. “But if you are, there are huge potential cost-saving benefits. We help patients avoid having to choose between their medications and other important life needs.”

The Dillon pharmacy features a convenient drive-thru, a welcoming atmosphere, and a knowledgeable staff that works hard to meet the needs of the community. You don’t need to be a CareSouth Carolina patient to use the CSC Community Pharmacy, but patients at CareSouth Carolina may have potential cost-saving benefits. 

CareSouth Carolina and CSC Community Pharmacy continue to expand access to affordable healthcare and pharmacy services in the Pee Dee region, and Lucy Owens remains at the heart of that mission in Dillon.
