Our School-Based Health Centers provide convenient access to care on-site or through telehealth for students, adolescents, young adults, as well as school staff and faculty. Services include:
✔️ Basic primary care
✔️ Urgent care
✔️ Infection testing
✔️ Physicals
✔️ Immunizations
✔️ Screenings
✔️ Medication management
✔️ Health education and counseling
✔️ Referrals

We are especially proud to have Brittany Osteen, Family Nurse Practitioner, caring for our students and helping ensure they stay healthy, supported, and ready to learn.

At Tandem Health, we believe access to healthcare should never be a barrier to success—and we’re honored to be part of these school communities.

We’re excited to share some great news for our school community!

We now have a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) on-site at Pocalla a few days each week to support the health and wellness of our students. This opportunity is made possible through our partnership with Tandem Health right here in Sumter!

Having an FNP on campus helps make healthcare more accessible and convenient for our families. Please see the information below for details.

On April 1, Tandem Health’s Enabling Service CHWs joined Community Health Workers from across South Carolina at the State House for CHW Advocacy Day. They had the opportunity to speak with legislators about the impact CHWs make every day— including how every $1 invested in CHWs generates $4.96 in savings while improving health outcomes statewide. From connecting families to care to supporting maternal health, CHWs are helping shape a healthier South Carolina.

Today, we celebrate the people who show up—day in and day out—to care for our community in ways most will never fully see.

From early mornings to late nights, from routine checkups to life-changing conversations, our providers carry more than stethoscopes… they carry trust, responsibility, and the weight of making a difference in someone’s life every single day.

At Tandem Health, we are incredibly proud of our physicians and providers who don’t just treat patients—they listen, they advocate, and they care deeply about the people behind every appointment.

To our doctors: thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your commitment to this community. You are the heart of what we do, and we are grateful for you today and every day.

Happy Doctors’ Day from all of us at Tandem Health!
