COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

CareSouth Carolina, through its community development division, mobilizes grassroots efforts around specific issues like health disparities, barriers to access, chronic conditions, infant mortality and others.   We involve the people who live in the community in the planning and development of the health care services and delivery system they need and envision for their specific community.  As part of those efforts, CareSouth Carolina has partnered with the South Carolina Primary Health Care Association’s Health Care Access for All campaign to improve the health care infrastructure of the communities it serves.  Staff work with community members and organizations to garner and assess community input, put together workable plans for the future and help facilitate the implementation of those plans to better the health of residents and the community’s health care system.

Outreach Services
CareSouth Carolina continues to seek and invest in outreach services to clients in the communities we serve. By building partnerships with other social organizations in combination with our own initiatives, we provide clients help with issues such as substance abuse, prenatal care and others. We strive to provide services directly to clients out in the community, helping them achieve a better quality of life.

Community Partnerships
CareSouth Carolina continues to build and cultivate relationships with other organizations, private and public, that help to improve the overall health of people in the community. Our partners vary from the local chambers of commerce and fellow health providers to major industries and national coalitions. We speak on various physical, mental and emotional health issues to civic organizations, schools, church groups and others on the local level and continue to be invited to share our success on a state and national level.
