The acquisition of Inlet Pediatrics by Sweetgrass Pediatrics represents a significant expansion of pediatric healthcare services in South Carolina's rapidly growing Grand Strand region. This strategic move allows Sweetgrass Pediatrics to extend its coastal reach while maintaining the established medical team that has served Murrells Inlet families for nearly two decades. The practice, now operating as Sweetgrass Pediatrics at the Inlet, continues under the leadership of Dr. Amanda Drosieko and nurse practitioner Dawn Fox, ensuring patients receive care from familiar healthcare providers during this transition period.
This expansion strengthens Sweetgrass Pediatrics' presence along South Carolina's coast and provides greater convenience for local families through coordinated pediatric services. Patients at the Murrells Inlet location will now have access to expanded resources that were previously unavailable, including telemedicine options, behavioral health and counseling specialists, online appointment scheduling, and texting communication capabilities. The practice maintains its operating hours of Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a lunch closure from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, ensuring consistent access to care for the community.
Dr. Colleen Boylston of Sweetgrass Pediatrics emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion, noting that the addition aligns with the organization's growth along South Carolina's coast. Both practices share a commitment to exceptional, family-focused care, making the integration a natural fit for serving the community's pediatric healthcare needs. Families at the newly acquired location will benefit from access to the full network of Sweetgrass locations across the Charleston Lowcountry, enhancing care coordination for patients who may need services at multiple locations.
The expanded network is part of Sweetgrass Pediatrics' broader mission to deliver compassionate, accessible pediatric care throughout the region. As part of US Pediatric Partners, Sweetgrass Pediatrics continues to expand access to high-quality pediatric care through innovative services and coordinated care across its regional network.

The organization remains committed to ensuring children across South Carolina have access to comprehensive medical services through both traditional in-person visits and modern healthcare delivery methods, reflecting the evolving landscape of pediatric healthcare in coastal communities.
