On October 3, 2025, Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) joined community members at Franklin United Methodist Church in Denmark, SC, to celebrate the grand opening of the church’s new Community Outreach Center.
PCC team members Caroline Warren and Liz Saitz attended the event, where they demonstrated telehealth equipment and shared information to help attendees learn more about how telehealth can support access to care.
The grand opening drew about 40 attendees, many of them veterans and community members. The celebration brought together several veteran-focused organizations, including the Veterans Resource Center at Voorhees University, the Department of Homeless Veterans, Disabled American Veterans, Soldiers’ Angels, the National Order of the Trench Rats, and leaders such as Col. Kimberly Greene, Director of the Veterans Resource Center, and Norman Bryant, Disabled American Veterans and VA Voluntary Services Coordinator.
As part of this partnership, PCC and Clemson Rural Health will begin offering clinical hours at Franklin UMC on Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. starting in November. During these hours, community members can see a healthcare provider via telehealth, with a designated telepresenter on site to assist with scheduling and conducting visits. Walk-in appointments will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and patients may also schedule a visit in advance by contacting Caroline Warren, Telehealth Coordinator, at 803-956-6070. Patients’ insurance will be billed at the time of service. If a patient does not have insurance, self-pay options are available.
PCC is thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with these organizations and continue supporting veterans and the communities we serve.
