As a result, Dr. Scipio received the Order of the Palmetto from Gov. Carroll Campbell. In 1995, he also received the Jefferson Award for public service on a local as well as a national level. Other Jefferson awardees that year included Sen. Strom Thurmond, Paul Newman and Sen. Joe Biden. In 1997, the award celebrated 25 years of recognizing excellence and they announced their “best of the best” award among all of the annual recipients. Dr. Scipio captured that award, as well.

“I’ve been so blessed. I know what God can do,” Dr. Scipio said.
