We’re forming exciting partnerships with nonprofits throughout Coastal South Carolina, including Tidelands Health, which holds an important place in the continuum of care for uninsured patients. In Georgetown County, the Tidelands Community Care Network connects these patients to a primary care medical home.
Maintaining a single point of entry and standardized eligibility requirements for treatment is becoming a best practice to increase access to care. Thanks to Tidelands, patients can receive chronic disease management, specialty care, case management, and prescription medication.

Time for our #FridayFeature! In Durham County, the Emily Krzyzewski Center provides motivated, low-income students with intensive academic support and guidance to help them pursue post-secondary success. Programs are designed to serve youth from Kindergarten through college.
