Managing Member and CEO of Palmetto Proactive Healthcare, Dr. Jerome Aya-ay came to Spartanburg thanks in part to a New Years Eve party.

After interviews with 14 residency programs, Jerome was already impressed with Spartanburg. But after meeting someone from Spartanburg at a New Years party in Miami, he made up his mind.

Now, Jerome leads Palmetto Proactive Healthcare, a direct-pay business working directly with patients every day.

“Spartanburg has been good to us before and after business has taken off. My wife has found her niche in real estate. My kids love their school and community.”
