Novant Health will expand its endocrinology services in July to Brunswick County with the opening of Novant Health Endocrinology.

The office will be temporarily located at Novant Health Family & Internal Medicine South Brunswick at 75 Emerson Bay Road SW, Suite 102, in Carolina Shores.

It will move to its new location later this year.

The not-for-profit health care system is operator of Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center.

Physician Paul Whitesides and Ginny Czimber, family nurse practitioner, will staff the clinic.

Before joining Novant Health in June, Whitesides served as an endocrinologist at Wilmington Health for more than 30 years. Czimber has been caring for endocrinology patients at Novant Health Family & Internal Medicine South Brunswick.
