CareSouth Carolina CEO Ann Lewis to serve as keynote speaker at SCPHCA SEA Retreat

CareSouth Carolina CEO Ann Lewis will serve as a keynote speaker at the 2025 SEA Retreat, where she will lead the opening general session titled Beyond the Silo: Cultivating a Positive Workplace.

 

Lewis, a distinguished leader in healthcare, has dedicated over 40 years to serving communities in South Carolina through CareSouth Carolina. As a passionate advocate for accessible healthcare, she has played a pivotal role in expanding community health services across the state. 

 

Her leadership extends beyond her CareSouth Carolina, as she was re-elected as Chairperson of the South Carolina Primary Health Care Association (SCPHCA) in 2023, a testament to her commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure statewide.
