Background
The Columbus, Ohio, native joined Beaufort Memorial in 2022, seeing patients at Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health. She previously served for five years as a physician assistant at OhioHealth Urgent Care in Gahanna/Reynoldsburg, a Columbus suburb. Earlier she worked in the same capacity at CardioMetabolic Health in nearby Westerville, where before becoming a physician assistant she had been an exercise physiologist.
A longtime fan of the Lowcountry, Mrs. Piolata began vacationing on Hilton Head Island when she was in the sixth grade. She now hopes to persuade her whole family to leave Ohio winters behind and join her here.
Mrs. Piolata and her husband, Michael, a stay-at-home dad, have three young daughters. The family enjoys time together at the pool and the beach, the park and the library, exploring new places and just “getting out of the house”!
