In the South, if you give us lemons, we will make you lemonade

In February 2020 the MUSC Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center saw an average of 14 patients per clinic, many of whom traveled to our clinic in coastal Charleston, South Carolina (SC), United States of America (USA) from interior rural regions of our state including the towns of Hemmingway, Rockland, and Aiken among others. The majority of SC, including these towns, is designated as Medically Underserved and are designated as having Health Professional Shortages by the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
