Nicole Lugo, Director of the Coastal Carolina Pediatrics (CCP) office, and her mother, Emily Lugo, recently joined GAO and other state Ambassador of the Year winners in Washington, DC as South Carolina’s first Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year.  Nicole was given this honor due to her instrumental role in securing a policy change for the Medically Complex Children’s Waiver by presenting BAYADA’s “Intro to Pediatrics” program to the Department of Health and Environmental Services.

Nicole’s enthusiasm and passion for advocacy continue to shine on a daily basis. Thank You Nicole, for all you do on behalf of your staff and clients!
