- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) — An ongoing condition that can cause inflammation and damage to the airways, making it difficult to breathe.
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) — A broad-based term for an often-progressive group of diseases that cause scarring (fibrosis) and stiffening of the lungs, making breathing difficult.

Background
Caring for others has always been Parsons’ calling. Inspired by her mother – a longtime hospice nurse – the Myrtle Beach native was drawn to a healthcare career from an early age.
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Clemson University, she completed her Doctor of Nursing Practice as a family nurse practitioner at Anderson University. She then served in several nursing roles at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, gaining experience in cardiovascular and pediatric care.
Parsons and her husband, Stone, have a young daughter, Shiloh, and she loves spending time with her family. She also enjoys antiquing, cooking, boating and Clemson football.
