About the Alliance
Alliance for a Healthier South Carolina
The Alliance for a Healthier South Carolina is a coalition of more than 50 executive leaders from diverse organizations across the state working together to improve the health and well-being of all South Carolinians.
The Alliance places a primary focus on aligning health equity-based goals, metrics and actions across organizations, institutions and agencies at both the state and community levels, and actively connecting both existing and planned equity focused work on the policy and practice fronts.
What we do:
Convene
We bring together a diverse group of organizations both public and private, to engage in dialogue about how to drive change and achieve health equity.
Connect
We link innovative work together and identify opportunities for partnership and collaboration.
Catalyze
We mobilize and align efforts that support the collective agenda for health improvement and health equity.
Why we formed:
Between 2010 and 2013, a group of senior leaders from healthcare, business, philanthropy, insurance, government, and policy in South Carolina became increasingly aware of the several successful but uncoordinated efforts targeted at impacting diverse aspects of health in the state and saw promise in the idea of a coalition that could minimize duplication and maximize impact in specific health outcomes such as stroke and premature births.
These founding leaders decided to work with other leaders in the state to take collective responsibility for the health of all in the state through the creation of the South Carolina Health Coordinating Council, known today as the Alliance for a Healthier South Carolina.
