Health Care Partners of South Carolina proudly celebrated National Diabetes Awareness Month by spotlighting our award-winning Diabetes Education Program — a trusted resource that continues to transform lives across our communities. Each month, HCPSC provides free diabetes education classes at our Conway, Marion, and Johnsonville locations, offering patients valuable guidance on managing diabetes, preventing complications, and building healthier lifestyles.

This month, we hosted a special collaboration class in Marion and welcomed participants from the Pick42 Foundation’s B.A.M. Program — Boomers Active Meetup, a vibrant group of adults ages 55+ dedicated to staying active, engaged, and informed. Pick42 Foundation continues to be a driving force in promoting wellness, social connection, and health education for seniors throughout rural South Carolina. Their work aligns strongly with HCPSC’s mission to support healthier communities through outreach, engagement, and accessible health resources.

During the session, B.A.M. participants enjoyed hands-on diabetes education, a healthy cooking demonstration, and a delicious meal prepared just for the event — reinforcing that wellness can be both enjoyable and sustainable.

We extend a huge thank you to PDRTA, who made a special trip to transport participants from Gresham to Marion. Their support ensured that every participant had access to this meaningful class without transportation barriers.

At Health Care Partners of South Carolina, we remain committed to empowering our community with knowledge, resources, and ongoing support that encourages healthier living and long-term lifestyle changes. National Diabetes Awareness Month highlights our ongoing work, and we’re honored to serve as a leader in diabetes education and prevention across the region.
