Clemson Rural Health adds new provider, dermatology services to upstate clinics

August 13, 2024

Clemson Rural Health (CRH) continues to show its commitment to improving the health of rural and underserved communities by expanding the breadth of its services. In addition to a new medical director, Clemson Rural Health has hired Jennilee Hill, a family nurse practitioner, to provide bilingual primary care and dermatology services.

After graduating as a nurse practitioner from Johns Hopkins University in 2009, Hill gained 15 years of experience in rural health care, specifically working with Hispanic populations. Hill completed her dermatology fellowship in 2016 and plans to offer dermatology services at the Joseph F. Sullivan Center beginning in August 2024. Clemson Rural Health currently provides preventive, acute and chronic health care services to a variety of patients. This includes immunizations, medication management, sick visits, annual physicals and more.

“I am thrilled to join Clemson Rural Health’s work in the Upstate,” said Hill. “It is a privilege to provide holistic, people-centered health care to a population I am passionate about.”

“Bringing in new providers to our practice with diverse skill sets, like dermatology, allows us to address the very real provider shortages we see in rural communities,” said Caitlin Kickham, associate director for clinical operations. “We hope to continue to expand the services we offer to better serve our patients.”

Hill will see patients at the Joseph F. Sullivan Center on the second and fourth Friday of each month beginning August 23.
