When we improve how we work, we improve how our patients live.
That’s how Chiquila Barber approaches her role as Director of Primary Care at MUSC Health Orangeburg.
Nominated by Echo McAlhany, Executive Director of Ambulatory Services, Chiquila is known for bringing people together. When opportunities to improve surfaced, she didn’t point fingers. She gathered her teams, listened, set clear goals and made sure everyone understood how their work connects to patient care.
Because to her, quality isn’t about numbers. It’s about helping patients better manage chronic conditions, stay on top of preventive care and live healthier lives.
This Black History Month, we celebrate her leadership and the impact she’s making across our community.
