Regional Health Policy Fellows Program

The Health Policy Fellows Program is a signature program of IMPH and advances the mission of the Institute, to collectively inform policy to improve health and health care in South Carolina. 

IMPH has developed a new version of the program for 2025, the Regional Health Policy Fellows Program, in partnership with the Commonwealth Fund, which is a national, private foundation based in NYC that supports independent research on health care issues and makes grants to improve health care practice and policy.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Throughout 2025, IMPH will host a series of quarterly listening sessions in the Upstate, Midlands, Low Country and Pee Dee regions. During these sessions, subject matter experts will be brought in to present regionally relevant public health issues to an audience of legislators, local elected officials, and county and municipal staff.
 
The goal of this program is to provide the most up-to-date research and data to legislators in usable formats as they consider introducing and responding to policy opportunities.

2025 Regional HPFP Sessions

During each quarterly session, topics may range from emergency preparedness and disaster relief in the hurricane-battered Low Country to hospital closures and lack of health care providers in the rural Pee Dee. The topics chosen will be of particular interest in that region but have state policy solutions. We will discuss the legislative history the topic might have and any current legislative activity.
