Health Care Partners of South Carolina is proud to announce the appointment of J. Alexander Halinski, M.D., M.S., as Chief Medical Officer.

Dr. Halinski earned his medical degree from the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where early training experiences in rural and underserved communities shaped his commitment to expanding access to high-quality care. His passion for serving vulnerable populations has remained central throughout his career.

He completed his surgical training at Baylor College of Medicine and Orlando Regional Medical Center, followed by an advanced fellowship in wound care. Dr. Halinski has since founded and led wound care services, served rural communities in the role of Medical Director, and supported innovative care delivery models through telehealth consulting.

Raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Dr. Halinski comes from a family deeply rooted in community-based healthcare — a foundation that continues to guide his leadership philosophy and patient-centered approach.

As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Halinski will play a key role in advancing clinical excellence, strengthening provider collaboration, and expanding access to comprehensive services across the communities we serve.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Halinski to Health Care Partners of South Carolina and look forward to the impact of his leadership in advancing our mission of delivering quality, compassionate care.
