SC Mission - Day 2

By Kate Crosby, SCMA Communications Director

This past weekend, multiple physicians volunteered their time and talents at SC Mission Midlands 2013, and as a result, over one thousand patients in critical need of medical services were seen. From pap smears, to cardiology consults, to rooms filled with internists, emergency medicine physicians, and a variety of other specialists, their needs were met.

The goal of the event was to meet the critical health care needs of people in the community who are uninsured and underserved. And the goal was met. Over 1,300 patient encounters took place at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds throughout this past weekend. 

Here are some photo highlights of Day 2:
