Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) is helping bring health care closer to home for rural South Carolinians. On March 20th, PCC’s Carolina Warren visited the Newberry County Office on Aging to install a new telemedicine cart and train staff on how to assist with virtual health visits.
Telemedicine carts are mobile platforms equipped for live video conferencing between patients and providers. This technology allows seniors to meet with doctors and specialists without leaving their local center—saving time, travel, and stress.
The 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.
With this installation, the Office on Aging team is now equipped to support telehealth visits, expanding access to care for older adults in Newberry County.
