VCOM - Carolinas 2016 Yearbook

Highlights

7. RURAL HEALTH GRANT BENEFITS CLINIC

7 The Appalachian outreach program was awarded a $247,940 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to expand primary care health services in Cherokee County and surrounding areas. Students and faculty regularly provide care in Cherokee County, an economically distressed area in Upstate South Carolina with limited healthcare options. In order to meet the high demand for access to healthcare while also providing hands-on training venues for VCOM students, the college is utilizing the ARC grant to expand free clinic services while providing clinical experience for students. 8 In April, VCOM–Carolinas opened its doors to accepted students from the incoming Class of 2020, which will begin studies this fall. Class of 2018 and 2019 students did a great job hosting the new students and making them feel right at home on campus. 9 “Every person has a story…” This statement is true no matter where you go, and students from the Class of 2018 teamed up with the Division of Communications, Marketing, Website and Publications to tell the unique stories of the people on campus, from security guards and preceptors to faculty and students. Check out this thoughtful look into the lives of the VCOM family at “Humans of VCOM” on Facebook.
