Community Service Committee
The Community Service Committee works to improve healthcare services to the community at large and designs a plan to provide medical care to the underserved indigent populations within Charleston County. It also organizes physician lead community projects, where they can give their time and share their talents. This committee also partners with Closing the Gap in Healthcare led by Dr. Thaddeus Bell, which is dedicated to helping identify and bring awareness about racism and inequality in healthcare.
School Health Committee
An advisory board to Charleston County School District, the School Health Committee works to improve medical issues affecting students and teachers not only in our community but throughout the State of South Carolina. The committee includes physicians who work with children and families, school nurses, counselors and other community leaders who have a strong desire to build a healthier educational environment allowing children to thrive.
Legislative and Advocacy Committee
The Legislative and Advocacy Committee coordinates the activities of CCMS with local, state and national lawmakers, in conjunction with SCMA. Their purpose will be to inform members about political issues that affect physicians and their practice, inform legislators about health-related issues, and educate the public about the health implications of legislative actions.
Member Engagement Committee
The Member Engagement Committee provides events and other opportunities for physicians to meet and network with each other. They are involved in planning the CCMS annual meeting. The committee also looks for ways to provide ongoing physician education and practice resources.
CCMS is committed to Closing The Gap in Healthcare for minorities and other underserved communities. With Dr. Thaddeus Bell leading the charge, CCMS is committed to helping identify and bring awareness about racism and inequality in healthcare.
Dr. Bell has been a champion of health equity for years and his work has had a profound impact on the lives of many individuals who have been denied access to quality care due to their race or socio-economic status. By partnering with Dr. Bell, CCMS hopes to bring about meaningful change that will benefit those who have been overlooked by the healthcare system for far too long.
