Please join us in welcoming LaVonna Bucko to Team UWHC as our new Crisis Intervention Community Resource Coordinator!

LaVonna brings more than 12 years of experience as a Certified Peer Support Specialist and a genuine passion for helping people find stability and move forward with confidence. Originally from Philadelphia, LaVonna lived in Atlanta before she and her husband James moved to Myrtle Beach two years ago to be closer to family.

Outside of work, you'll find her bowling, playing putt-putt, or making memories with the people she loves most, including their four children, one grandchild, and two fur babies, Raja and Bill.

We're so glad to have LaVonna's heart for service on our team. Help us give her a warm welcome to Team UWHC! 💙
