On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) returned to the Mullins Library in Marion County to host another digital literacy class, continuing its efforts to bridge the digital divide in rural South Carolina. Fourteen community members participated in the free training, gaining essential technology skills to help them stay connected in today’s digital world.
Participants learned how to safely browse the internet, set up and use email accounts, access telehealth services, and navigate websites for everyday needs. Each attendee also received a tablet, along with one-on-one support to help them confidently operate their new device.
This training was made possible through funding provided by the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA), a statewide collaboration working to expand access to care through telehealth and digital health initiatives. Their support has been instrumental in helping PCC deliver resources directly to communities that need them most.
The class is part of PCC’s broader initiative to increase digital inclusion and improve health equity by bringing hands-on learning opportunities to areas with limited broadband access. Libraries and other trusted local venues serve as ideal settings for community members to build skills in a comfortable, approachable environment.
