Today is National HIV/Aids Youth Awareness Day. Rural Health Services recognized National HIV/Aids Youth Awareness Day by testing at USC Aiken this week. Rural Health has an ongoing partnership with the university to give students affordable access to HIV/STI screenings and linkage to primary care and preventive healthcare services.
It is important to remember that youth are still at risk for HIV infections, as statistics show that 20 % of all HIV diagnoses in the United States occur between ages 13-24.

Our team showed up in BLUE this past Friday 💙

In recognition of Colorectal (Colon) Cancer Awareness Month, our staff proudly wore blue to help raise awareness about the importance of early detection and prevention.

Colorectal cancer is the 2nd deadliest cancer—but it’s also one of the most preventable with routine screenings. We’re proud to stand together in support of our patients, families, and community.

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time to get screened. Don’t wait—early detection saves lives.

March is Colorectal (Colon) Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Did you know colorectal cancer is the 2nd deadliest cancer—and cases are rising in people under 50? While those 50+ are at higher risk, screenings can start as early as age 45.

The good news? When caught early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable. That’s why getting screened is so important.

If you’re 45 or older (or have risk factors), don’t wait—talk to your provider and take that next step for your health today.

📞 Call us at (803) 380-7000 to schedule your screening.

Your health matters. Early detection saves lives. 💙
