On July 28, 2025, Palmetto Care Connections brought its Digital Literacy Class to the Hampton County Library, continuing our mission to equip rural South Carolinians with the tools and knowledge they need to connect to care.
Supported by the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA), the class welcomed 15 Hampton County residents eager to learn the basics of navigating a digital device. Led by instructor Lee Ashe, with support from team members Addi Jameson, Jessica Samuel, Bailey Smoak, and Liz Saitz, the training offered one-on-one guidance in a welcoming and hands-on environment.
Participants practiced essential skills like accessing the internet, opening apps, and learning how to use telehealth services. Each attendee received a free tablet and one year of cellular service—helping eliminate obstacles to staying connected with health care providers.
One participant shared, “The class was great. Our instructors didn’t miss anything. I feel I can operate better.”
Classes like this don’t just teach technology—they open doors. By providing both the devices and the confidence to use them, PCC is helping more people take control of their health and stay connected, no matter where they live.
