From the Blue Ridge to the Lowcountry. One state, four Regional Chambers, the Catawba Indian Nation + nine state-recognized tribes, 5.4M Carolinians building the healthiest South Carolina possible — together. Phase 1 activates Lexington County + the Capital Region as the proving ground for the full statewide system.
Every Regional Chamber boots with a pre-populated Director's Table, pre-built outreach templates, a 90-day campaign calendar, and PHIT data feeds wired to its geography. Lexington County + Capital Region is the Phase 1 proving ground.
Every Director runs the same six tables — the lanes the Phase 1 Advisor walk-in delivers into. 130+ named SC leaders pre-loaded as of activation day, plus a state liaison to all 10 tribal nations.
Every Regional Chamber pulls statewide South Carolina data into the Director's daily view. These are the validated SC sources Phase 1 is wired to consume.
County-level mortality, BRFSS, communicable disease, maternal/child indicators. Post-2024 DHEC split — Dr. Edward Simmer interim director.
WiringOfficial steward of the SC all-payer claims database (APCD). Population estimates, vital statistics, hospital discharge data.
Wiring46-county composite rankings of health factors + outcomes. Annual Q1 refresh. Wired live for Lexington + Richland deep-dive.
LiveRural-specific provider shortage maps, county-level indicators, HPSA designations. Graham Adams as long-tenured CEO/partner.
WiringRural & Minority Health Research Center. Primary academic partner for behavioral and chronic-disease analytics across SC.
WiringBlock-group SDOH + chronic-disease prevalence for all 46 SC counties. Stacks on top of County Health Rankings for sub-county granularity.
LiveEnrollment, utilization, managed-care org data. Critical for non-expansion-state coverage-gap framing.
Wiring~$360M+ over 18 years. Tracking county-level settlement allocations + DAODAS treatment data feeds.
WiringEight Phase 1 facts the Advisor uses to anchor every SC conversation. None of these are guesses — they're current as of activation day.
SC remains one of 10 non-Medicaid-expansion states. ~100K+ adults in the coverage gap. FQHCs absorbing the load. This is the central political fact of every SC health pitch.
The old SC DHEC was reorganized into the SC Department of Public Health (DPH) and Environmental Services (DES). Anyone still saying "DHEC" is two years out of date. Use DPH.
Prisma Health Midlands (Jennifer Montgomery, May 2025) and Lexington Health (Kirk Jenkins, Jan 1 2026) — both in their first ~7 months. Rare window for legacy-defining initiatives.
MUSC Health is acquiring regional systems aggressively (Lancaster, Florence-area, Tidelands fall 2026). It's becoming the only quasi-statewide academic system — Cawley + Cole are state-level anchors.
Five rural hospital closures in 15 years (Williamsburg Regional, Marlboro Park, Bamberg, Lake City, others in distress). Every Greater Rural conversation acknowledges this fragility.
SC has the 2nd-highest density of HBCUs in the country — SC State, Claflin, Benedict, Allen, Voorhees, Morris, Denmark Tech. Tier 1 standing invites for the health-equity agenda.
Clements retired 12/31/2025. Bob Jones interim. Permanent successor named ~5/27/2026. Greenville-region outreach should refresh the name before any handoff materials ship.
Active SLED investigation re: Chief Brian Harris (opened 3/18/2025). Route all tribal outreach through the SC Commission for Community Advancement & Engagement (state Native American liaison) first.
