Health Center News

In recognition of National Wear Red Day during American Heart Month, Health Care Partners of South Carolina proudly participated in raising awareness about cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death among women.

Across our locations in Conway, Marion, Johnsonville, Brittons Neck, and Singleton Ridge, staff and providers wore red to help spark conversations with patients about heart health, prevention, and early detection.

Turning Awareness into Action

While National Wear Red Day serves as a visible reminder, our focus extended beyond participation. Throughout the week, providers emphasized:

•    Blood pressure screenings
•    Diabetes and hypertension management
•    Cholesterol monitoring
•    Nutrition and lifestyle counseling
•    Preventive wellness visits

Heart health education was incorporated into routine patient encounters, reinforcing the role of primary care in reducing long-term cardiovascular risk.

Supporting Preventive Care in Rural Communities

As a Federally Qualified Health Center serving rural and medically underserved areas, we recognize the importance of meeting patients where they are and proactively addressing chronic disease risk factors. Observances like National Wear Red Day provide meaningful opportunities to increase awareness while strengthening our ongoing preventive care efforts.

At Health Care Partners of South Carolina, heart health remains a priority — not just in February, but year-round.
