Partnerships
SCPHI maintains active partnerships with many traditional and non-traditional partners in working to improve the health and quality of life in South Carolinians. The Institute serves to convene active partnerships around a diverse array of issues, working collaboratively to pursue change. It is important to SCPHI and our partners that we recognize our common ground and work together to minimize duplication of effort and maximize scarce resources to the benefit of our state. Addressing the public health priorities of South Carolina can best be achieved through the combined effort of representatives from a variety of organizations, agencies and community groups that can serve to bring about the health improvements important to us all.
