Lincoln Internal Medicine Announces New Partnership with Avance Care
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 10/10/25
Dear Lincoln Internal Medicine Family,
We are excited to share an important new chapter in our commitment to providing the highest standard of primary care for you and our community. Beginning January 6, 2026, Lincoln Internal Medicine will proudly join the Avance Care network of independent North Carolina primary care practices. In this new partnership, the physicians you have trusted over the years will remain the owners of our practice, ensuring patients receive the same excellent care for which Lincoln Internal Medicine is known.
This announcement also coincides with the well-deserved retirement of our founder, Dr. Toma Radut, effective December 31, 2025. For more than 23 years, Dr. Radut and his wife, Florentina, have built and nurtured this practice with dedication and compassion. Their legacy will continue to shape the future of care at Lincoln Internal Medicine for many years to come. Rest assured, all other team members will remain at the practice, including David Meyer, MD; Gabriela Meyer, MD; and Stacey Herrin, NP along with our entire staff. We are also excited to welcome a new clinician soon, as our practice continues to grow. Avance Care currently operates more than 30 primary and specialty care clinics across North Carolina, including five in the greater Charlotte area. We are strongly aligned with Avance Care’s mission of delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care to our community. Avance Care provides personalized, whole-person care, including integrated nutrition and behavioral health services. With this new partnership, we will be able to offer our patients access to behavioral health therapy and nutrition counseling within our clinic, as well as, access to the Avance Care network of specialty psychiatry services.
Our partnership with Avance Care also provides access to a much-improved patient portal experience via MyChart, making it easier and more convenient for you to manage scheduling appointments and communicating with your care teams. Because MyChart is also used by other providers in the region, it further enhances coordination across care teams, helping ensure your care is more connected and seamless. With immense appreciation for our history and excitement for the future, we look forward to continuing to be your trusted partner in health.
Warm regards,
David Meyer, MD and Gabriela Meyer, MD

Lincoln Internal Medicine to Host “Mammograms and Manicures” in October
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 8/18/25
Lincoln Internal Medicine will host “Mammograms and Manicures” on October 6th and 8th. On both days, during this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we will host a mobile mammogram vehicle, elevating the call for all women of recommended age to seek preventative screenings.
By 2018, mammograms were saving between 27,083 and 45,726 lives a year. These numbers provide evidence of just how effective the combination of early detection and modern breast cancer treatment has been in reducing breast cancer deaths. However, only about half of women over age 40 get regular mammograms. Current screening guidelines recommend average-risk women begin screening between ages 40 to 50, and continue thru age 75 years old.
All participating patients will be offered a voucher for a complimentary manicure to be completed by local community college cosmetology students. This event is open to the general public. Participants do not need to be current patients of Lincoln Internal Medicine.
- To schedule your mammogram for the event, please visit: appointments.

Lincoln Internal Medicine Announces Continued WNC Helene Disaster Relief Efforts
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 12/16/24
Lincoln Internal Medicine has been heartbroken over the loss of life and devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, realized in late September. In many parts of Western North Carolina, the degree of destruction requires our long-term focus and attention, beyond the immediacy after the early storm relief. We continue to stand with our fellow Western North Carolinian communities during these challenging times. Lincoln Internal Medicine is proud to continue to offer our support.
Our medical staff coordinated donation drives, collecting supplies that would be transported to WNC. Stacey Herrin, NP has been heavily involved in helping our WNC communities, volunteering in the areas of Barnardsville, Burnsville, and Swannanoa. She has provided medical relief, help to setup a medical clinic, SAR, debris cleanup, conducting well-checks of residents, along with supply distribution.
David Meyer, MD has spent time with Centro Unido Latino-Americano, providing donation relief efforts out of Marion, NC.
Finally, as a part of our annual MLK Day of Service for 2024, we proudly donate $2,500 to the “North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund”, a fund of the “North Carolina Community Foundation” non-profit community organization providing continued vital services to meet the needs of affected communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
