Last week, Director of Data Strategy and Healthcare Integration, Britton Herbert, graduated from the National Rural Health Association’s Rural Health Fellows Leadership Program — a yearlong initiative designed to build a diverse, interprofessional network of rural health leaders from across the country.⁠

Each year, NRHA selects just 15–20 individuals who have demonstrated a strong commitment to improving rural health through their professional or community work. The program equips fellows to lead in their fields, share a compelling vision for rural America, and influence health policy at the local, state, and national levels.⁠

We’re proud to celebrate this accomplishment and the continued leadership strengthening rural health in South Carolina and beyond.

SCORH is a proud participant in a Collaborative working to redefine how patient engagement is measured and applied in real-world healthcare settings. ⁠

This work strengthens quality improvement efforts and enhances care delivery across the entire patient risk continuum. Bringing these strategies to rural South Carolina, we seek to strengthen access to care and improve the overall health of our communities.⁠

Last week, rural health advocates from around the country attended the National Rural Health Association Policy Institute in Washington, DC. South Carolina Office of Rural Health CEO Graham Adams, Senior Director Elizabeth Burt, and Director Britton Herbert joined other South Carolina rural health representatives in visiting South Carolina congressional offices to discuss rural health priorities. The meetings helped elevate the needs of rural providers, patients and communities and reinforced the importance of policy solutions that expand access and improve health outcomes in rural areas.

Big shout out to our team members, Shannon Chambers, Senior Director of Provider Solutions, and Britton Herbert, Director of Data Strategy and Healthcare Integration! Both recently passed the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).

After months of hybrid classes, in person classes and several 12-hour hands on ride along days, we are excited that each of these individuals are now NREMT certified. The dedication that they showed while completing this certification and still completing their regular jobs highlights their desire to help improve our relationships with Rural EMS agencies across the state.
