UWHC Announces 2023 Hidden Hero

Brent Barker

UWHC has presented the 2023 Hidden Hero Award to Brent Barker.

The Hidden Hero Award is given annually to an individual or organization that has gone above and beyond to help UWHC. The Hidden Hero recipient is often not recognized by the public for the work that they complete, but they are dedicated to our mission and diligently work to give back to Horry County.
