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.

On December 1, 2016, the Office of Public Health Statistics and Information Services hosted the 2016 DHEC Health Data Symposium. The purpose of the event was to share information on some of DHEC's available health data sources. Attendees from the department, colleges and universities, as well as non-profits and community organizations participated. This was the first of what is planned to be an annual event.
