About Us
Welcome to Lovelace Family Medicine a medical practice where your health and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be accredited as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), a recognition that underscores our dedication to providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs, and values.
As a PCMH, we are committed to fostering long-term partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, rather than providing episodic care. This means that our approach is holistic and inclusive, ensuring that all aspects of your health care are taken into account. We coordinate your care across all elements of the healthcare system, including specialty care, hospitals, home health care, and community services, ensuring that you receive comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care when and where you need it.
At Lovelace Family Medicine, we rigorously follow the evidence-based guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). These guidelines are the cornerstone of our clinical decision-making processes, ensuring that the care we provide is grounded in the latest research and best practices in family medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology.
Our team is dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, aiming to provide you with the highest quality of care that is both effective and efficient. We believe that by adhering to these guidelines and embracing the principles of patient-centered care, we can help our patients achieve the best possible health outcomes.
Our mission is to provide compassionate, quality care to the glory of God. The word “family” is derived from the Latin word “famulus” which means servant. We strive to practice “servant” medicine and appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
All of the physicians at Lovelace Family Medicine, P.A. are Board Certified by the American Board of Family Practice. In addition, they hold Clinical Assistant Professorships in the Department of Family Medicine at MUSC in Charleston and the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Spartanburg. Medical students and residents from all areas of the country have come to LFM to experience a two to four week elective of family medicine in a rural area. The physicians are committed to improving access to quality care in rural America.
Currently, the facility employs thirty-eight people, including eleven nurses, five licensed family doctors, and three nurse practitioners, representing 8,000 patients from around the area. Our Prosperity office, conveniently located on Hwy 76 between Newberry and Little Mountain, was renovated in 1998 and now encompasses fifteen patient rooms, a stress test center, four nursing stations, a shower facility, office rooms, and teaching stations. In one of our many efforts to stay on the cutting edge of medical service, our office was one of the first in South Carolina to transfer all patient medical charts to computerized records. The office has received many awards since we opened our doors, and we continue to find new ways to better reach our community.
Thank you for choosing Lovelace Family Medicine as your trusted partner in health. We are honored to serve you and your family.
