Good morning, Florence.

Two men are behind bars for an armed robbery at a motel in Florence on Thursday.

Deputies responded on June 13 when a man fired his gun from his yard on Parkland Drive in Florence — a bullet hit a car, and after attempts to perform a welfare check failed, officers used gas to force his surrender and arrested him for breach of peace and firing a weapon into an unoccupied vehicle.

Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center named Brandy White as its new speech therapy director and launched a service to treat speech & swallowing disorders.

She will lead community-focused care for patients in need.

A pilot program that improved patient care in two Charleston emergency departments will expand to MUSC Health hospitals in Orangeburg — Florence — and Marion.

The program is expected to bring the same care improvements to more patients in these areas.
