The purpose of the Family Health Foundation of South Carolina is to establish and administer programs that strengthen and enhance family and community medicine. The Foundation supports activities which encourage medical students to pursue family medicine as their intended specialty and supports research activities in family medicine which ultimately may result in improved patient care and better outcomes.
The chapter's magazine is published three times a year and gets delivered to all 2100 members. Copies of the publication are also sent to stakeholders in the state's health policy arena, including some elected officials. Advertising in the publication is a great way to get your message in front of SC's largest specialty medical association.
