Palmetto Care Connections was recently represented at the National Cooperative of Health Networks (NCHN) Annual Educational Conference, held April 15–17, 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event brought together health network professionals from across the country to connect, collaborate, and explore new ways to support rural health initiatives.
Our Chief Community Relations Officer, Davia Smith, attended on behalf of PCC, taking the stage as a featured speaker. She shared insights on how telehealth technology and digital literacy can improve access to care—especially in underserved and rural communities.
Hosted by NCHN, a national organization dedicated to supporting health networks, the conference provided space for meaningful discussion around innovation, sustainability, and network growth. From thought-provoking sessions to a networking reception, attendees had valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
With about 50–60 participants, the gathering was intentionally small, creating room for deeper conversations and stronger peer connections.
Focused on the unique needs of health networks, the NCHN Annual Conference plays an important role in shaping the future of rural healthcare. PCC is proud to take part in these national conversations and is excited to bring home ideas and inspiration to continue bridging the digital and healthcare divide in South Carolina’s rural communities.
