Palmetto Care Connections hosted a Digital Literacy Training on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at the Kingstree Recreation Center to help residents in Williamsburg County build confidence using technology and telehealth.
Led by IT Director Liz Saitz, the training focused on device basics, email, Zoom, internet safety, and preparing for telehealth visits. Jessica Samuel, Digital Literacy Analyst, and Caroline Warren, Telehealth Coordinator, supported participants with sign-ins, assessments, and device setup.
Fourteen community members participated, many of whom use MUSC as their primary care provider. As part of the program, each participant received a tablet to keep along with one year of free cellular service, helping them continue using what they learned beyond the classroom.
Jerry Kinsey, who was referred by MUSC, shared, “Taking this class, I feel confident in doing a telehealth visit. I’m going to set up MyChart and schedule a telehealth visit with my doctor.”
Barbara Battle added, “Being a senior and trying to adapt to technology can be challenging, but this class and having this device is really beneficial to me.”
This training was supported through the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) and reflects PCC’s continued work to help communities use technology to better connect with care.
