Superhero Mondays: South Carolina Department of Mental Health Delivers Top Tier Healthcare

[Audrey Gertz (audreygertz)]

The award-winning South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) has nearly two centuries of great care under its wing. With 17 Mental Health Centers, 61 clinics, and 2 acute care hospitals throughout the state of South Carolina, the Department currently serves approximately 100,000 South Carolina citizens with mental illnesses. They do it all with an innovative telepsychiatry consultation program enabled by the Polycom RealPresence® Platform, which has saved patients more than $35 million in healthcare costs.

Their commitment to improving the patient experience with transformative healthcare solutions earns them the title of Polycom Superhero.
