PCC partners with Family Solutions and Absolute Total Care

Palmetto Care Connections’ Palmetto Connect hosted a Digital Literacy Training on July 25th and 26th at the Orangeburg County Library. Working with Family Solutions, we were able to train and distribute nine tablets to young mothers who attended. The Digital Literacy training emphasizes the opportunity to use telehealth with the participants’ healthcare providers, so on the second day, each participant was able to experience a fun telehealth conference with our technical analyst. Participant, Brianna Wright, had never had telehealth before. When asked what she thought about it, she stated, “It’s easy! I can do this. Now I don’t have to take time off from work – that’s [saving] gas! I like this training-- it was fun.”

Refresher Class for Digital Inclusion Participants

On August 2 & 3, 2023, Palmetto Care Connections held its first refresher training at the Bamberg County Library for participants who attended digital literacy training a year ago. Basic functions of their device were retaught, but introducing free apps for personal interests and memory agility captivated their attention. Furthermore, one participant had shared where she was able to purchase laptop accessories, and the next day, several came to class with a new mouse, speaker, or USB hub port– they shared that they saw each other at the store after training and it was as if they were already friends.
