Foundation Priorities
We are focusing our attention on the most pressing health care issues impacting South Carolinians today.
Directing support where it's most impactful
At the Foundation, we give strategically, with an eye toward our priorities. We're supporting community partners across the Palmetto State to improve health outcomes and decrease health disparities, particularly for the economically vulnerable.

Oral Health
Improving the oral health care system by increasing access, enhancing workforce development and supporting quality and innovation.

Mental Health
Building resilience and well-being for youth and families by strengthening the mental health workforce, improving quality and coordination of mental health care and enhancing collaboration in communities to support families.

Social Determinants of Health
Through our Social Determinants of Health Roadmap, we are helping to convene and coordinate key stakeholders to address individual, community and structural determinants of health equity.

Diabetes
In partnership with Diabetes Free SC, we’re aligning the efforts of diabetes-focused community partners across the Palmetto State.
