 Over 15% of the population in Horry Count lives with no health insurance, including the unemployed and those who are employed, but have no health coverage. Many live in rural areas and have no transportation or access to healthcare services.
The current economic outlook makes their needs even more urgent.
Most individuals screened through the HEALTHREACH program have no medical insurance and no family physician. Their medical care is obtained in the hospital emergency room. Through these screenings, we hope to discover their medical problems and educate them on proper treatment to remain healthy and active.
