As the First Aid Sponsor at the 2021 Riverfest in Downtown Conway, HCPSC also served our community by providing Free Health Screenings to over 200 festival attendees!

Health Care Partners of South Carolina stands with our South Carolina Primary Care Association in support of our Asian American Communities.

Service To Others!

Thank you to The American Red Cross for facilitating another successful blood drive event! Through the donations of HCPSC employees, patients, and our fellow community members, many lives will be saved!

Health Care Parters of South Carolina is proud to honor National Handwashing Awareness Week. Personal hygiene begins and ends with our hands. Clean hands prevent sickness. So it’s especially important to learn the basics about hand hygiene so that you, too, can become a champion hand washer!

Giving back to the communities we serve!

In late July and early August, Graduations were held for the National Diabetes Prevention Program hosted by Health Care Partners of SC. This year, our program had 48 participants within the three sites. Despite the thread of Covid-19, our sessions were completed virtually and in-person with strict social distancing. This program even included some of our HCPSC staff families, who all were successful in the program! Some of the participants chose to attend the Graduation Ceremonies with their loved ones in recognition of their year-long commitment to lifestyle change in order to reduce their risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Our groups of participants lost a total of almost 7% of their combined body weight and improved their physical activity minutes to reach that positive lifestyle change.

The Diabetes Prevention Program is currently recruiting for new sessions to begin in early September. If you are interested in decreasing your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes by 58-70%, please call 843-488-6038 or email marcey.westerbeck@hcpsc.org
