A "meet and greet" was held Feb. 28 at the Williston Fire Department for Dr. Paul Drago.

Drago is a new doctor working for the Barnwell County Hospital. He will spend most of his time at Williston Family Practice and the Blackville Medical Center.

Drago has 23 years of medical experience in both small and large cities. He began his career in Lancaster. Before coming to Barnwell, he was working for the state's prison system.

Drago is a preventive-care specialist and an expert in anti-aging. He said he's excited to be in Barnwell and wants to "promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle" to his patients.

Drago studied medicine at the Ohio State University, then surgery at Yale University and did his fellowship at LSU.
