Help make health care a priority in South Carolina. Whether you consider yourself an Democrat, Independent or Republican, 2010 is an important year for all South Carolinians but especially to those of us in the health care industry. This year, South Carolinians will have the opportunity to make their voices heard in electing who will govern our state for the next four years, which will have an impact for hospitals and the health care community.

Those elected will make decisions critical to the future of health care. Medicaid funding, behavioral health and health care jobs are just a few issues that are most critical to the financial well-being of our hospitals.
