On Thursday, March 27, Palmetto Care Connections’ (PCC) Liz Satiz and Caroline Warren hit the road to bring cutting-edge telehealth technology to two Lowcountry senior centers: the Robertville Senior Center in Garnett, SC (Jasper County) and the Hampton County Council on Aging in Hampton, SC.
At each location, the PCC team installed a new telemedicine cart— a mobile platform equipped for secure, live video conferencing between patients and healthcare providers. This technology allows people to meet with doctors and specialists right from their local center, reducing the need for travel and helping eliminate common barriers to care in rural communities.
Caroline led staff through hands-on training to get them comfortable using the equipment, while Liz showed users the Doxy platform to demonstrate what a virtual appointment looks like from the provider’s side. The live demo gave staff a complete view of how telehealth will work in practice.
This project was made possible through funding from the South Carolina Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare and in partnership with the South Carolina Department on Aging. PCC is proud to support local communities in expanding access to quality healthcare—no matter the ZIP code.
