Hurricane Helene: Public Health Department Closures

Latest updates: Hurricane Helene

Our public health departments' hours of operation may be affected by power and staffing outages. This means that some closures may not appear on the state government office delays and closings map. The health and safety of our employees and our clients remains our highest priority. We are working to get services restored as safely and quickly as possible.

The South Carolina Division of EMS and Trauma is a division within DHEC that monitors/develops protocols, designates trauma centers, and certifies Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics and Athletic Trainers. Information on specific processes can be found in the Downloads & Links section.
