Community health is at the heart of our mission. Through programs, partnerships and patient-centered care, we work to improve health, expand access to services and support the well-being of our neighbors.
Healing neighbors and inspiring hope
Health impact
We're making an impact that's measurable and real.
Tens of thousands of people utilize our programs and services every year. From free health checks to classes and events, we help people across Charleston and nearby areas take charge of their health and well-being.
Between our staff and volunteers, we usually give back nearly 4,000 hours of our time to community service projects and programs each year.
Cancer prevention education and screening are a focus for us. More than 95,000 of our neighbors have taken advantage of our free or low-cost screening and education events.
The Foundation makes our programs possible. Gifts and donations support health services, prevention programs, and education that improves lives. Our own staff and teammates have given over 1 million dollars of their own money to the foundation.

View our Community Health Needs AssessmentNo single organization can do this work alone...we assess needs together and by identifying common goals, we can move the agenda forward together. In partnership with other local organizations doing this work, we build safety nets for communities in greatest need, communities that wouldn't know where to turn to without support from the community organizations with whom we are grateful to partner.
We invest in our communities
Our programs and partnerships make healthcare easier to access and more fair for everyone.
We aim to close gaps in health care by giving resources, education and services to those who need them most.
Every year, we team up to do a community health needs assessment. This assessment ensures we’re helping where it's needed most. Last year, we worked with MUSC Health, Trident Health, Trident United Way, regional partners across the Lowcountry and community leaders to help guide our efforts.
We partner with local organizations, schools, and nonprofit health groups to expand access to care and support across our community. Last year, our community investment sponsorships were more than $400,000. We also included funding to community partner clinics for free lab and diagnostic services, for a total of more than $900,000 spent funding groups doing life-changing work.
Our work leads to real results: healthier people, stronger communities, and better access to care for everyone.
