              McLeod Health Welcomes New Hospice and Palliative Care Physicians
               
              (July 21, 2020 – Florence, SC) McLeod Health welcomes Dr. Robin M. Fuchs and Dr. Ryan D. Fuchs to McLeod Hospice and Palliative Care.
               
              This physician couple joins Medical Director Dr. Vipul Shah and Associate Medical Directors Dr. Erin Lusher, Dr. Ed Behling, Dr. Paul DeMarco, Dr. Andre Dyer, Dr. Robert Eagerton, Dr. Jason Harrah and Dr. Erika King in caring for McLeod patients. As Associate Medical Directors, Dr. and Dr. Fuchs will care for patients in the home, hospital, inpatient and assisted living facilities, and at the McLeod Hospice House.
               
              Natives of Ohio who met in college, the Drs. Fuchs come to McLeod following the completion of their fellowship training at Firelands Regional Medical Center in Sandusky, Ohio. They both completed medical school at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio, and their residency in Family Medicine at Lakeland Health System in Saint Joseph, Michigan.
               
              The Drs. Fuchs share a deep passion for end of life and comfort care and look forward to being part of the McLeod team. 
               
              “We are pleased to expand our Hospice and Palliative Care team of physicians with the addition of Dr. and Dr. Fuchs,” said Joan Pavy, Administrator of McLeod Hospice and Palliative Care. “These physicians will work closely with our team of nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers to maximize quality of life while providing the medical expertise and oversight of the psychological, social and spiritual needs of both the patient and family.”
