Palmetto Health - Healthy Communities

Palmetto Health has pursued multiple initiatives and strategies to promote a healthy community and address residents' health needs. The initiatives are guided by Healthy People 2020 objectives: provide access to quality health care services; create and maintain educational programs; and design and implement community-based services.

Partnerships are critical to Palmetto Health's community commitment. Palmetto collaborates with more than 20 community groups, including faith-based, civic and health care organizations, which can include competitors. Working together, these organizations are better able to fund initiatives and provide a wide array of community health services.
