Behind every successful telehealth appointment, every secure broadband connection, and every piece of functioning medical equipment in rural South Carolina—there’s a team of dedicated professionals making it all possible.
This week (May 18–24, 2025) , Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) proudly joins organizations across the nation in celebrating Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) Week, an annual recognition led by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). It’s a time to honor the healthcare technology professionals who work behind the scenes to ensure that medical devices and digital infrastructure are reliable, safe, and ready when patients need them most.
