BJVIM recently dedicated an exam room at the Bluffton Clinic in honor of its founder, Jennifer Brown. Originally a volunteer with HHI VIM, she saw the need to have a clinic in Bluffton. Brown began the process and was with the organization when it opened in 2011. She was a part of the clinic until 2013 when she left to live in Australia. She remained interested in the clinic until her death on July 6, 2022.
Congratulations to Everyone at BJVIM!

BJVIM Welcomes New Office Manager
You may have noticed a new face in the office at BJVIM recently. We are excited to have Lee McSavaney join our team as the new office manager. Lee has jumped right in and is working very hard to understand our clinic needs. Originally from England, Lee retired from her career in financial accounting and administration to raise a family and explore exciting opportunities overseas offered through her husband’s career in International Technical Product Marketing. Expatriate life in Westford, MA, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Roswell, GA, finally led the family to the Lowcountry. In 2007, more than 20 years after leaving the UK, Lee and her husband, Dave, made their final relocation, to their “forever” home in Moss Creek. Upon becoming a U.S. Citizen, Lee was able to refresh her administrative skills and resume her career.
