Abbeville Area Medical Center (AAMC) continues to grow its family medicine practice with the addition of a new Family Practitioner. Christopher Lee Oxendine, MD has joined the hospital’s Family Medicine Associates practice and is currently welcoming new patients.
“I am pleased to join the Family Medicine Associates and Abbeville Area Medical Center team,” said Dr. Oxendine. “AAMC is a great hospital; I look forward to working with the staff in providing my patients with an outstanding level of care.”
Dr. Oxendine is joining Family Medicine Associates as part of a recent agreement between the hospital and Self Medical Group in Greenwood, a not-for-profit physician division of Self Regional Healthcare. This collaboration is expected to provide Abbeville-area patients with better access to family practice physicians.
