PICKENS — This month, the Cannon Family Practice will welcome Dr. Christine Jeanette Lawrence to the Cannon family.

Lawrence will be accepting new patients at the Pickens office beginning this month.

“We welcome Christine to our Cannon family — with her background in social work, she will be a welcome addition to our Pickens practice,” Dr. Daniel Dahlhausen said.

Lawrence recently completed her family medicine residency with the Greenville Health System. She began her medical education at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in 2013. Her undergraduate work was at Lander University, where she received a B.D. in psychology with a counseling emphasis. She is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the South Carolina Medical Association. She has been active in a variety of volunteer work and advocacy programs centered on health care in South Carolina. In her spare time, Lawrence enjoys mountain biking, hiking, fishing and time in the outdoors.

“I am excited to be joining the Cannon family,” Lawrence said. “I am honored to serve as a physician within my own community. I love that family medicine allows me to build a relationship with and work to keep the whole family healthy. I look forward to serving pediatrics, adolescents, adults and geriatrics in Pickens County.”
