Richard Foster Jr., M.D.

Thinking of you all this holiday season. I can't imagine how difficult it is, but Beverly and I are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

He was a great man caring and loving !

Dr. Foster´s is a large loss for all things medical in South Carolina. I worked with him in many pursuits of his attention to the betterment of health for all citizens. I and all will miss him greatly.

Rick made a big difference in the health of citizens in SC, both as a physician and also in health policy at the State level. His commitment to his family, church and community were an extension of his Eagle Scout status. Well done good and faithful servant. We will miss you greatly.

Rick was a man of integrity and passion. I enjoyed coaching the girls. Rick even named our mascot for Sea Island, our dog Hoops! Keeping y´all in our prayers! God Speed

Rick knew how to energize a group of people! He had a personal brand that endeared him to all who knew him. South Carolina is in better standing because of his leadership on so many health improvement initiatives. He will be missed.

I join the many who admired Rick. We worked with one another several times during his career. He was a professional with caring, talent, and integrity. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dr. Foster was a noble man that championed health and equity for all. May our God comfort his family, friends and community.

Rick was a tireless advocate for better healthcare for all in the state. His leadership was steady and inspiring. I learned so much about leadership from Rick. I am hopeful we can carry his torch forward, for the betterment of the citizens of South Carolina.
