RMC Community Outreach

At Regional Medical Center, we organize many community outreach programs to spread health and wellness awareness and access in our community.

Asthma Education

RMC’s respiratory care staff partners with local schools and offers “Open Airways,” an asthma education program. The program targets third through fifth graders in all schools in Orangeburg and Calhoun counties.

Community Outreach and Safe Kids Program

RMC Community Outreach staff travels throughout Orangeburg, Calhoun, and Bamberg counties to promote good health. Some of the annual Community Outreach special events include:

  • The Rose Festival
  • Congressman James Clyburn’s Annual Ollie Johnson Memorial I-95 Corridor Health Fair
  • Orangeburg Wellness Celebration
  • Orangeburg County Fair
  • Safe Kids Super Saturday

Free health screenings, community blood pressure screenings, ongoing wellness classes, and monthly Live & Learn programs are a few of the Outreach activities that RMC provides to the community. Safe Kids provides car seat safety checks and children’s safety education.

Health Education

RMC offers the community a variety of health education services including diabetes education, nutritional counseling, prepared childbirth, and sibling classes.

Industrial/Work-Site Program

This comprehensive health program is targeted to industry and includes on-site health assessments, disease prevention education, disease detection screenings, treatment, and follow up. For more information, click here.

Speakers’ Bureau

Healthcare professionals are available to speak at various meetings of civic, school, professional and other groups on topics relative to their expertise. To schedule a speaker, call 803-395-2319 or 803-395-2698 (toll-free in SC: 800-476-3377, ext. 2319 or 2698).

Support Groups

Sometimes it can be helpful just to talk to someone in similar situations. Getting involved and sticking with a support group will challenge people to get beyond their limitations. RMC sponsors many support groups to help those with conditions or diseases better deal with challenges and problems. Some of these support groups include Lupus Support Group, Breast Cancer Support Group, Cancer Support Group, Stroke Support Group, Multiple Myeloma Support Group, and Amputee Support Group. For a complete listing, see RMC's Community Calendar.

Young People in the Community

RMC commits extensive resources to give direction to young people in our community. Through such programs as Medical Explorers, internships, Summer Enrichment, and the Junior Volunteers, young people in the community are exposed to a variety of medical professions.
