Palmetto Care Connections team members recently joined healthcare leaders and advocates from across the state at the Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare’s (CRPH) 5th Annual Meeting, held on April 3, 2025, at the Pastides Alumni Center in Columbia, SC.
The event, designed to bring together CRPH partners for a day of learning, networking, and meaningful discussion, offered an opportunity for participants to share ideas and explore strategies to improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural communities.
Caroline Warren, Liz Saitz, and Matt Hiatt represented PCC at the meeting, along with Bretta Kittrell, FNP, from Bamberg Family Practice. The team engaged in a full day of programming, which included attending insightful panel discussions and breakout sessions focused on rural healthcare innovation, workforce development, and community partnerships.
Through these sessions, our team members gained valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing South Carolina’s rural healthcare providers and explored new ways to collaborate with fellow CRPH partners to drive progress in rural health.
PCC is proud to be part of the ongoing conversation around rural healthcare and looks forward to applying the knowledge and connections gained at this year’s annual meeting to support our mission of connecting rural communities to quality care through technology and innovation.
