Bishopville, SC — On June 24th, Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) hosted a free Digital Literacy Training in Bishopville, welcoming 19 participants from Lee County and surrounding areas. Held at the Bishopville City/County Complex, the session was made possible through funding from the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) and is part of PCC’s broader mission to improve digital access and telehealth readiness across rural South Carolina.
The training offered attendees hands-on experience with internet-enabled tablets and covered key skills like navigating a touchscreen device, sending emails, accessing telehealth services, and using video calling for personal and medical needs.
Thanks to SCTA funding, each participant received a tablet with one year of free cellular service, helping eliminate the barriers of device access and internet connectivity that often stand in the way of rural telehealth use.
Due to the strong turnout and positive feedback, PCC is excited to announce a second Digital Literacy Training course scheduled for July 30th in Bishopville. To learn more or register for the upcoming session, call 803-450-1027.
