Welcome to the Web site of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) Public Health Region 8. This site lists the public health services we offer in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.
In Region 8, we take our mission — to promote and protect the health of the public and the environment — very seriously. As we deliver core public health services, we focus on quality of care. We work in partnership with you to prevent the spread of disease, protect you and your family from environmental health hazards, and encourage healthy behaviors that will help you live a longer, safer and healthier life.
We constantly monitor public health patterns, and we use that information to guide our regional public health strategy. We look for opportunities to join forces with community partners to improve our efficiency and effectiveness. Underlying all our efforts is our vision for South Carolina — healthy people living in healthy communities. Our goal is to work closely with you and your community to make that vision a reality.
