History and Background
About HOPE in SC
H.O.P.E. is an acronym for Health Outcomes and Pursuit of Equity, which is our goal for HOPE initiatives in South Carolina.
HOPE in SC began as a Covid vaccination campaign in 2021 as a partnership between African American faith networks, Clemson University Department of Public Health Sciences, and a variety of other partners at both a local, state, and national level.
We aim to bring improved health outcomes and pursue equity for South Carolinians through a variety of initiatives.
Current initiatives are listed on our home page.

Dynamic Duo: Flu and Covid Vaccine Initiative
The South Carolina Witness Project and Clemson University Department of Public Health Sciences are partnering with other state and local agencies in 2023-2024 to provide high quality vaccination, health education, and healthcare navigation using a mobile pharmacist vaccination team. We are funded by the National Council on Aging, which aims to increase flu and covid vaccination rates among people who are 65 years and older and among people of any age with a disability.
Because we are committed to vaccine equity in South Carolina, we are providing access to other vaccines such as pneumonia and shingles, and we are also providing flu and covid vaccines to anyone eligible to receive a vaccine age 6 months and older.
We would like to partner with you to provide a trusted and convenient place for people to receive their vaccinations.
Please consider inviting our team to any upcoming events and consider holding vaccination events to promote vaccine equity in your community.
