Thanks to @harveypeeler, @BruceBannister & conferees for a budget that invests in @UofSC—from keeping tuition low to supporting SC’s future nurses, teachers, lawyers, pharmacists, engineers & neuroscientists, as well as continued funding for key internships in high-demand fields!

We’ve added a seventh star to our USC Brain Health Network map — Orangeburg! In collaboration with @HopeHealthInc, our expert staff now offer cognitive screening and assessment and help identifying critical community resources to residents in this high-needs area.
