Diamond Sponsor Spotlight

The South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) is a statewide collaboration of organizations working together to expand telehealth services across South Carolina. By providing guidance, supporting strategic development, and advising on technology and standards, the SCTA is building an open-access network that connects residents to quality care—while keeping costs manageable for providers and patients alike.

We encourage you to learn more about SCTA’s work by visiting sctelehealth.org. There, you can sign up for their newsletter, explore reports, view their strategic plan, and discover valuable resources.

We’re proud to recognize SCTA as the Diamond Sponsor of the

13th Annual Telehealth Summit of South Carolina.

CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month — a reminder that staying safe online is everyone’s job. At PCC, we believe technology should empower, not expose you.

PCC CELEBRATES TELEHEALTH AWARENESS WEEK

PCC extends a heartfelt thank-you to our Telehealth Partners who helped celebrate Telehealth Awareness Week across South Carolina. Together, we highlighted how telehealth is transforming care, improving access, and strengthening communities. We’re proud to work alongside partners dedicated to expanding telehealth, technology, broadband, and education statewide.

PCC IN THE COMMUNITY

Palmetto Care Connections and the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance delivered a presentation on statewide School-Based Telehealth to the SC Department of Education's Medicaid coordinators.

PCC is proud to support the grand opening of the Franklin United Methodist Church Community Outreach Center in Denmark, SC. We showcased telehealth equipment and discussed how virtual care can benefit veterans and local residents.

In partnership with Clemson Rural Health, clinical telehealth hours will begin there this November.
