about healthy palmetto
Healthy Palmetto is made up of more than 30 partner organizations that represent statewide organizations in South Carolina. What we have in common is a shared vision that South Carolina is a place where quality of life is a priority and everyone has an opportunity to thrive. Collectively, we form the Healthy Palmetto Leadership Council and strive to unify and mobilize healthy eating and active living efforts in South Carolina.
our vision
A South Carolina where quality of life is a priority, and everyone has an opportunity to thrive.
our purpose
To unify and mobilize organizations working on healthy eating and active living efforts in South Carolina.
our history
Healthy Palmetto was established in 2020 following the completion of the 2014-2019 SCaledown obesity initiative. Through a rigorous review process, the Healthy Palmetto Leadership Council selected six priority areas on which to focus statewide efforts from 2022-2024. By elevating the collective expertise of these unique partners, Healthy Palmetto laid the groundwork for a sustainable model that other priorities could be added to over time. This groundwork was a critical starting place for identifying opportunities for our 2025-2029 Strategic Priorities.
