Community Services
The physicians and staff at Lowcountry Medical Associates are dedicated to our community and strive to always give back to
the Charleston-metro region through community service and stewardship. This section of our Web site is dedicated to information about
events that we coordinate and support. If you have any questions about our community outreach efforts,
please contact Julie Radabaugh at (843) 937-8101 ext. 201.
