Hannah Foster
Hannah Foster, 25, is a nurse who has spent her entire life in Bluffton, South Carolina, deeply rooted in the community she loves. Freshly graduated from the University of South Carolina-Beaufort just five months ago, Hannah has eagerly embraced her role at St. Joseph's Candler, where she works alongside her mentor, Kari. Though new to nursing, her compassionate nature and strong work ethic quickly made her a valued member of the team. Growing up in Bluffton has shaped Hannah into someone who cherishes close-knit connections, and her gentle demeanor and unwavering dedication to helping others reflect the values she holds dear. Despite being at the start of her career, she’s already shown tremendous potential, offering care and comfort to her patients with the warmth of someone who understands the deep impact of kindness.

Dr. James Miller, 53, is a seasoned ER physician with dark hair flecked with silver at the temples—a subtle marker of years spent under harsh hospital lights. His steady gaze and firm, no-nonsense demeanor exude confidence, making him a reliable anchor in the often chaotic world of emergency medicine. Known for his meticulous nature and sharp clinical instincts, Dr. Miller balances compassion with a drive for precision. He commands respect from his team, not through intimidation, but through his dedication and the quiet empathy he extends to patients and their families. Though his expression is typically serious, those who know him well understand that beneath the calm exterior lies a man deeply affected by his work, carrying the weight of each life he strives to save.
