About Affinity Healthcare Solutions

Affinity Healthcare Solutions, we care about physicians and their patients. We offer healthcare management service organization assistance including operations support, financial sustainability consulting, and clinical integration assistance, among other services to help physicians keep a pulse on their business, remain profitable, and ultimately stay independent.

Affinity Healthcare Solutions began as an independent physicians’ group, Palmetto Primary Care Physicians (PPCP), in 1996. More than 22 years later, we are proud to report that PPCP has grown to the largest independent multi-specialty group practice in South Carolina, with over 90 providers across 32 offices, and over 480 total staff members. Affinity Healthcare Solutions has the experience and skills necessary to understand and prioritize our customers’ needs and guide them through the process of expanding their businesses -- because we’ve also been physicians, managing and growing practices on our own.
