ABOUT US
PALMETTO HEALTH AND MANAGEMENT
"Founded in 2015, Palmetto Health and Management was created to fill a void within the community. In today’s fast paced healthcare world, companies strive to see as many patients as possible. However, this model is not always beneficial to the patient as it leaves many without the proper knowledge about their medical conditions and medications. We have found that when patients are not properly educated about their medication, they often have increase health concerns, hospitalization and medical cost. This is where Palmetto Health and Management comes in. PHM, is a healthcare team that prides itself on providing comprehensive Medication Therapy Management services to patients on their disease state, drug therapy regimen, and identify potential issues in current regimens. PHM provides a variety of patient education tools including medication therapy reviews, seminars/webinars, monthly newsletters and community events. Through these tools we aim to improve overall health outcomes and educate patients while reducing hospital read missions, drug costs, ultimately building a healthier community.
MISSION
Improve the overall health outcomes and educate patients while reducing hospital readmissions, drug costs, and ultimately building a healthier community.
VISION
Healthier communities where medication management and disease management are assessable to all.
