Welvista

Welvista A nonprofit providing free medicine to uninsured adults & dental care to underserved children in SC. Food or Medicine?

As costs of prescription medicines continue to rise and the numbers of uninsured reach all-time highs, providing a cost-effective source for life-sustaining and life-saving prescription medications becomes critical to the low-income uninsured. The number one chronic illness in children is tooth decay, 51 million school hours annually are missed due to dental related pain or infections. Through edu

cation, prevention and restorative dental services and access, Welvista makes a difference. Welvista exists to provide prescription medications at no cost to the low-income uninsured. That is the stark choice that more and more low-income uninsured individuals face. No individual should have to choose between food or medicine.

We are deeply grateful to the Cheerful Giver Fund of the Central Carolina Community Foundation for their generous support of Welvista.

As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, this meaningful gift helped spark the momentum behind our Midlands Gives campaign, setting the tone for a day of generosity and impact across our community.

Because of this investment, Welvista can continue to remove barriers to care and ensure that life-saving medications reach South Carolinians who need them most through our Medication Assistance Pharmacy.

Thank you for helping us create healthier futures—one patient at a time.

Yesterday, our Director of Patient Services, Kahlia Aposhian, and Jessica Gaines, Community Outreach Manager, had the honor of leading a breakout session titled Transforming Health Through Partnerships, Collaboration, and Innovation at the Alliance for a Healthier South Carolina – Health for All Summit.

Kahlia shared, “True impact happens when organizations come together with shared purpose, trust, and a commitment to serving our communities well. Across South Carolina, we are stronger when we collaborate, and I’m grateful to be part of work that values relationships as much as results.”

It was a great session, and we truly enjoyed meeting so many passionate community members. The feedback we received reminds us why advocacy, visibility, and connection matter so much.

We’re grateful for every opportunity to grow, share, and serve.

For more than 23 years, Dr. Ron Banik has been a dedicated partner in serving the oral health needs of students in Allendale County. In this interview, he reflects on why he has remained committed for over two decades and how Smiles for a Lifetime has made a lasting and meaningful impact on the community.

Programs like Smiles for a Lifetime would not be possible without the generosity and service of dentists like Dr. Banik. Our model relies on compassionate providers who are willing to give their time and expertise for minimal compensation—far less than the true value of their work—so that students in underserved communities can receive the care they need. Their commitment goes beyond dentistry; it’s about access, equity, and investing in the long-term health of children who might otherwise go without care.

We are deeply grateful for professionals like Dr. Banik whose dedication has helped shape the growth of this program and improve oral health outcomes for generations of students in Allendale County.

🦷✨ Brushing & Flossing 101 with Dr. Poole ✨🦷

Dr. Poole shares why daily brushing and flossing are so important! The goal? Remove plaque — that sticky film of bacteria that builds up on teeth throughout the day. He also explains why brushing at night is especially critical. While we sleep, our mouths produce less saliva, which normally helps wash away bacteria and food debris. Without that natural protection, teeth are at their most vulnerable — making nighttime brushing and flossing your best defense against cavities.

Healthy habits before bed = healthier smiles for life. 😁

Bless You, South Carolina 🤧🌳

April is peak allergy season in South Carolina, and tree pollen — especially oak, pine, and birch — is at its highest levels. That means nearly 30% of people are dealing with sneezing, sniffling, and nonstop nose-blowing right about now.

If your tissues are working overtime, you’re not alone. Talk to your provider about the best treatment plan for you — and remember, with a prescription, MAP may be able to help with many commonly used allergy medications.

Let’s tackle allergy season together, South Carolina. 💙
