About This Cause
HDPT Center was founded by Dr. Evelyn R. Coe, an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse located in Darlington, SC. Since its inception, the HDPT Center has operated in collaboration with Internal Medicine Specialists who either owned their own practices or work with other major medical facilities (e.g., Veterans Administration). Since its founding, the HDPT Center has treated indigent patients regardless of their ability to pay so that the provision of medical care was uncompromised. Even in cases where patients could not afford to pay anything, the HDPT Center accepts them just as well. When the practice was located in Darlington, SC, Dr. Evelyn Coe treated clients and patients from the Free Clinic because after a year long of care, the Free Clinic's policy was to discharge them. The HDPT Center's main focus has been treating patients with high blood pressure and Diabetes; however, it also treats many other chronic and acute conditions as well. As an added service, Dr. Coe performs DOT physicals, school and employment physicals, and recently started performing disability determination examinations for the Social Security Administration. Over the years, the practice had to shut down temporarily due to the global pandemic and rising costs to fully operate. Nonetheless, HDPT reopened has continued to operate since 2017. The practice has seen some great outcomes with substantial interruption in both diabetes and high blood pressure and hopes to partner with generous donors or other organizations to achieve its core mission so that our community may can continue to receive a continuum of care - especially to those who do not have the ability to pay to see another provider anywhere else. Dr. Evelyn Coe continues to see patients from the Greater Pee Dee Region of South Carolina (e.g., Dillon, Hartsville, Lamar and Darlington). At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the HDPT Center provided COVID-19 vaccines to community members, and occasionally transported patients to and from the clinic.
