Offering Healthcare to All
with a Caring Touch

Dr. McKay, a graduate of the University of Georgia and Mercer University School of Medicine, completed her residency and was board certified in Internal Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Prior to moving to Chapel Hill, she was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Connecticut. It was there she envisioned starting a practice where she could spend more time with patients in a more intimate setting. Her dream became a reality when she founded Avalon Medical Group, in the building erected in 1959 by Drs. Kemp Jones, William Joyner, and Fred Patterson, the town’s first Family Medicine Group .
