The General Assembly created the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) in 1973 when it reunited the Board of Health and the Pollution Control Authority. The agency's mission is to promote and protect the health of the public and the environment. Every South Carolinian is touched by DHEC everyday. The agency is under the supevision of the Board of Health and Environmental Control. Seven members are appointed by the Governor representing each congressional district and one at large member. After 3 years of consolidation from 12 districts to 8 regions, the streamlined administratioin has resulted in efficiencies and increased effectiveness, specifically resulting in cost savings, increased accountability and improved customer service. DHEC continues to strive toward maximum usage and improvement of quality services to its customers. A focus on performance management has strengthened its activities. DHEC continues to operate local health departments and clinics to ensure that the many programs and services it provides meet the needs of the local areas. Decisions for service delivery are targeted toward best practices and are data driven. The central office is located in Columbia, the state capitol. |
