Physician Assistant Joins Beaufort Memorial Pulmonary Specialists

Beaufort Memorial is expanding access to respiratory healthcare and lung services in Beaufort, welcoming a board-certified physician assistant to its Pulmonary Specialists team.

Brooke Cox, PA-C, sees patients at the practice’s Beaufort location, focusing on general pulmonary care and treating common lung conditions like COPD and asthma.

“Lung diseases and respiratory conditions can seriously affect a patient’s quality of life, so compassionate, knowledgeable caregivers play a critical role in a patient’s treatment journey,” said Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley. “Brooke is a problem-solver with a desire to serve her community, and her commitment to compassionate care makes her a welcome addition to this team.”

As a physician assistant, Cox aims to combine her clinical expertise with her commitment to building relationships with her patients. Community-centered care and shared decision-making are critical, she said.

“Patient care is collaborative, so shared decision-making is very important in my approach,” Cox said. “I work to educate my patients, share my opinions and help them find the treatment options that fit their lifestyle.”

In addition to asthma and COPD, Cox’s personal background with autoimmune diagnoses drives her clinical interest in conditions like interstitial lung disease. Her personal experience with the medical field while growing up sparked an early interest in healthcare. That background, paired with her dedication to understanding the root cause of clinical issues, landed the Virginia native in the Lowcountry as the newest physician assistant with Beaufort Memorial Pulmonary Specialists.

Providers at Beaufort Memorial Pulmonary Specialists have in-depth knowledge of the respiratory system and broad-based expertise in diagnosing and treating the diseases and conditions that affect the lungs and related organ systems. This practice’s board-certified clinicians provide skilled critical care to patients in the Beaufort Memorial Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as well.

The practice has locations in Beaufort (300 Midtown Drive) and Okatie (122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Suite 300).
