SOUTH CAROLINA TURNING POINT LOCAL INITIATIVES

The Turning Point Local Grant Initiatives are local regions that currently conduct community health assessments. The first round of funding was divided into three branches: PRO Hampton County, Partners for a Healthy Community in Anderson County, and Community Coalition of Horry County.
The second round of funding was also divided into three branches: Edisto Health District, Five Rivers Community Development Coalition in Waccamaw Health District, and Clarendon Health District.

These local initiatives seek to evaluate community health analyses and promote the preservation of healthy lifestyles by implementing various forms of support and services. By utilizing these local grant initiatives, we are able to create and synthesize recommendations to improve the entire state’s public health system. Each initiative operates under differing strategic plans to achieve their own specified goals and objectives.

Several programs have been established under each of the local grant initiatives that have proven to help local communities gather information, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and give support to those in need.
