Stephanie Gibson, MD
Dr. Stephanie Gibson is a native of Savannah, GA. She completed her undergraduate and medical school degrees at Mercer University in Macon, GA. Stephinie moved to Columbia, SC, in 2013 for her Pediatric Residency and now works as the sole Newborn Hospitalist in Prisma Health Richland's Level 1/Level 2 Nurseries. She also serves as a Pediatric Medical Consultant in the SC Department of Public Health’s Newborn Screening department.
Stephanie joined the Junior League of Columbia, SC, in 2016 as a way to stay involved in the community after residency. During her time in the League, she has developed a passion for League Membership, around which all her placements have focused. Her favorite (and truthfully, most exhausting) placement was when she served as Placement Chair. In this role, Stephanie enjoyed getting to learn the inner workings of the League and all the ways a Member can serve both it and the community through their placements. She has served in a leadership capacity on both the Junior League of Columbia Board and Executive Management Team and will continue to support her Columbia League Members as their VP of Membership for 2026-27.
Stephanie also volunteers her time with Carolina Sunshine for Children, a Columbia-based nonprofit wish-granting organization for children with serious/life-threatening illnesses. In addition to granting wishes, Stephanie also currently serves as its Board President. As such, she has supervised both the hire of Carolina Sunshine's first paid employee and implementation of its revised strategic plan. Stephanie also works to increase the footprint of this organization in South Carolina through annual fundraisers.
Even though she has moved to South Carolina, she has not forgotten her Georgia roots. Stephanie has volunteered for over 10 years at Camp Sunshine, held at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, GA. Camp Twin Lakes is a facility that houses multiple camps for children and adults with medical/social needs. Camp Sunshine serves children with cancer and their families. As a childhood cancer survivor herself, Stephanie attended Camp Sunshine as a camper. Now, she gets to pay it forward as a volunteer during a week-long summer camp and weekend retreats throughout the year.
Aside from her passion for volunteering, Stephanie enjoys reading, traveling, watching college football, and spending time with her husband Kyle and two large rescue dogs, Sam and Kanga. Her current bucket list item is to visit all 63 US National Parks.
