Hand a single sheet to a single contact. Each one-pager answers the same four questions: Why SC. Why this sector. What we ask of you. What you get back. Print for in-person handoffs or share the link.
Print all sixSC is one of 10 remaining non-Medicaid-expansion states — ~100K+ adults in the coverage gap, with FQHCs and rural hospital systems carrying the load. Five rural hospitals have closed in the last 15 years. MUSC is in the middle of a statewide expansion. The Midlands has two brand-new health-system CEOs within seven months. Every clinical, financial, and workforce lever in SC healthcare is in motion right now.
A statewide multi-sector convening table that pulls clinical leaders, FQHCs, payers, schools, employers, and funders into one shared rhythm. PHIT data feeds (SC DPH, SC RFA APCD, County Health Rankings, CDC PLACES, DAODAS) wired into every Director's dashboard. Reality Health Games activations and Train-the-Brain content for community engagement.
SC has the second-highest density of HBCUs in the country. USC's Arnold School of Public Health is one of the South's most productive population-health research engines. Clemson is in a presidential-transition window. Greenville County Schools is the 46th largest K-12 district in the US. Charleston, Richland 1, Richland 2, Lexington 1-5 — every flagship district has either a brand-new superintendent or one in a long-term renewed contract. The school-health entry point is wide open.
Train-the-Brain games + Prevention Bingo Cards + Live It Trackers — health-curriculum-aligned content that drops into any LMS (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology) via LTI 1.3 or Share-to-Classroom. Workforce pathways from K-12 → tech college → healthcare careers. Co-branded sector summits at universities.
SC DHEC split into SC DPH and SC DES on July 1, 2024 — Dr. Edward Simmer is interim DPH director. SC Office of Rural Health (Graham Adams, since 1995) is one of the longest-running state rural-health agencies in the country. The state's ~$360M opioid recovery flow is mid-deployment. SC remains a non-expansion Medicaid state, making every county-level public-sector partnership essential to the coverage-gap response.
A neutral multi-sector convening table that gives state and local public-sector leaders a way to coordinate without owning yet another initiative. Live PHIT dashboards usable in budget, grant, and reporting cycles. A bridge between agency data and community-level activation.
BlueCross BlueShield of SC is both the dominant SC insurer AND one of the state's largest employers — a rare two-sided lever. BMW Manufacturing in Greer is the largest BMW plant globally. Michelin's North American HQ sits in Greenville. Boeing SC builds the 787 in North Charleston. Workforce-health is the lane these companies already invest in; the Chamber gives them a multi-sector platform to compound their spend.
Employer-grade health activations that pull from the same content library the schools use — but tuned for employee wellness, leadership development, and community sponsorship. A line into the Foundation pathway (FFH Academy Foundation · PPF-routed · tax-deductible).
The Duke Endowment funds heavily into SC despite being NC-based. BlueCross BlueShield of SC Foundation is the single largest SC-only health funder. Sisters of Charity Foundation of SC (Donna Waites) and Self Family Foundation (Mamie Nicholson) are statewide rural-impact leaders. Coastal Community Foundation under Darrin Goss serves the nine coastal counties and recently posted $29.2M in revenue. SC also has the ~$360M opioid settlement flow administered through the SC Attorney General's Opioid Recovery Fund Board. Money is moving — the question is to where.
A multi-funder convening that gives foundations and United Ways visibility into where each others' dollars are going — without forcing them to merge. PHIT data feeds usable in grant reporting and outcomes measurement. A statewide cross-sector pipeline that turns one funder's investment into multi-sector activation.
SC has one federally recognized tribe — the Catawba Indian Nation (~3,300 members, Rock Hill / York County) — and nine state-recognized tribes. The Catawba currently have an active SLED investigation involving Chief Brian Harris (opened 3/18/2025), which makes formal protocol absolutely essential. Direct outreach to the Chief's office is the wrong first move. The right first move is through the SC Commission for Community Advancement & Engagement (the state's Native American Affairs coordinator) and through tribal health-services administrative staff. Done well, the Tribal Sub-Chamber becomes a model for state-level Indigenous health-data sovereignty work nationally.
A respectful, protocol-driven seat for tribal health leaders alongside SC's other health-sector tables — without claiming to speak for any tribe. PHIT data wired to tribal-level indicators where data sovereignty allows. A relay between the federal IHS lane and SC's state-level health infrastructure.
