Leadership

HopeHealth Leadership

From our senior leaders, to board members, to leadership advisory council members, the HopeHealth leadership team collaborates to develop organizational goals that positively impact our communities.

Inspired.

Achieving health care successes individually and as a team.

Informed.

Improving systems and services by incorporating documented best practices.

Motivated.

Developing our staff to better take care of you.

Strength in Numbers

HopeHealth continues to grow and expand its services and its service areas. The company was founded in 1991 as a grassroots HIV/AIDS support organization with just six employees, and was designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center in 2007 to expand its services to include primary and pediatric care. HopeHealth now operates over 20 locations in five South Carolina Counties with more than 700 employees.

 

Senior Leadership

The HopeHealth senior leadership strives to build a comprehensive primary care system that has our patients at the core and fosters a positive, inviting work environment. Through collaborative efforts in local communities and at the state and national levels, the team stays informed of community and individuals’ needs and proactively seeks to address them with compassion, integrity, accountability, innovation, and excellence.
