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, removing obstacles like limited device access and unreliable internet that can prevent rural patients from using telehealth.
