Nurse Practitioner Joins Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Specialty Care
June 26, 2023Categories: News
To address the shortage of digestive health services for residents of Beaufort County and beyond, Beaufort Memorial has added a board-certified nurse practitioner, Marie Wilkinson, to Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Specialty Care, seeing patients by appointment at the practice locations in Beaufort and Okatie.
Wilkinson comes with in-depth experience in the provision of urgent and emergency care. At Lowcountry Medical’s gastroenterology practice, she works to promote patients’ digestive health, assisting its board-certified gastroenterologists and advanced practice providers with clinical assessment and pre- and post-operative care.

Most recently, she served as a nurse practitioner at Tampa General Hospital Urgent Care in Florida and assisted in the opening of the Clinical Decision Unit in TGH’s emergency department, overseeing care for patients who were not yet ready for transfer or discharge.
The Delaware native holds a master's degree in nursing with a family nurse practitioner specialty and a bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Delaware.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Wilkinson to our medical staff,” said Russell Baxley, president and chief executive officer at Beaufort Memorial. “As a member of our gastroenterology clinical team, she will not only provide patients with expert care, but also help us to meet the area’s critical need for additional GI services.”
With locations at 300 Midtown Drive in Beaufort and Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Okatie, Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Specialty Care is a multispecialty practice that provides a full range of women’s health and digestive health services, including prevention, diagnosis and treatment, case management and care coordination. The medical group includes providers specializing in gynecology and gastroenterology. Imaging and laboratory services are available onsite.
