In recognition of Men's Health Month, Health Care Partners of South Carolina hosted its first Men's Health in Action: Community Wellness Fair at our Marion location, bringing education, resources, and meaningful conversation directly to the men of our community.

The turnout exceeded our expectations. Attendees toured our Marion office, connected one-on-one with our providers, scheduled appointments, received blood pressure screenings, and enjoyed food and fellowship throughout the day. Dr. Barry Bodie, M.D., a urologist with MUSC Health, served as our featured guest speaker and delivered a message that resonated deeply with everyone in the room.

This event was made possible through collaboration with our partners at the South Carolina Cancer Alliance, along with sponsorship support from Molina Healthcare and Healthy Blue. SCState 1890 Research & Extension led engaging cooking demonstrations, and we were honored to be joined by HCPSC Board Members Georgette Washington and Yvonne Davis, Councilwoman Tassie Lewis, Councilman Fred Gause, the Marion Fire Department, and the SC Department of Environmental Services.

Under the leadership of our CEO, Santina Mayo, HCPSC remains committed to bringing meaningful health resources directly to the communities we serve — meeting people where they are and making preventive care more accessible. This event was an encouraging reminder of what's possible when community partners come together around a shared goal.
