Bamberg, SC — On Thursday, June 12th, Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) visited the Bamberg County Office on Aging to demonstrate how telehealth is helping transform rural healthcare. The event, made possible through support from the South Carolina Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare, was part of PCC’s continued effort to empower older adults with access to digital tools and virtual care options.
Approximately 25 to 30 seniors gathered for the presentation, where PCC’s Caroline Warren teamed up with Bretta Kittrell, FNP from Bamberg Family Practice. Together, they shared valuable information about how seniors can use telehealth to connect with providers—especially for Medicare wellness visits, medication reviews, and chronic condition management.
Attendees received educational flyers and watched a hands-on demonstration with PCC’s telehealth cart, giving them a closer look at how easy and convenient remote care can be.
Bretta offered insight into how Bamberg Family Practice is already using telehealth with local patients, helping make routine care more accessible for those with transportation challenges or mobility limitations.
Events like these allow PCC to bridge the gap between technology and trust, showing seniors how telehealth works and encouraging them to take an active role in their health from the comfort of home or local access points.
This community outreach is part of PCC’s broader mission to expand digital health solutions across South Carolina’s rural and underserved areas—one demonstration, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
