Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health are becoming

Why Prisma Health?

Since we launched our new health organization last November, we have made great progress by building on the strength and legacies of Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health. Together, we are looking at health in a completely new way.

In early 2019, we will unite under one name, one logo and one way of delivering health care. Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group will begin transitioning to its new name, Prisma Health-USC Medical Group, in late 2019.

Because the name Prisma Health is unique, we can make it our own. Our bold, fresh visual identity includes sharp angles and bright, vibrant colors that distinguish us from traditional health care providers in our region. The design of the letters is intentional and engaging, evoking UIFGBDFUTPGBQSJTN5IFOBNFBOEMPHPSFƌFDUUIFNVMUJGBDFUFE EZOBNJDPSHBOJ[BUJPOXF are today, and light the way for all we are becoming.

What stays the same?

We will continue to honor the sacred relationships our patients and their families have with their physicians and advanced practice providers. Your doctor won’t change. Your hospital won’t DIBOHF0OMZPVSDPNQBOZOBNFTBOEMPHPTXJMMDIBOHFUPSFƌFDUPVSOFXVOJƋFEPSHBOJ[BUJPO

While our hospital names will change to include the Prisma Health brand, each will keep its familiar legacy name, including Tuomey here in Sumter.

We continue to be dedicated to transforming health care through education and clinical research. Collaborating with our academic partners, we are teaching the next generation of physicians, nurses, dentists and other medical professionals, and investing in research to improve the lives of those we serve.

And we continue our commitment to keep health care local. By coming together as one, we’re shaping our own future so we may continue to improve the health of all South Carolinians.

What’s our promise?

Pete the Planner Peter Dunn USA TODAY

If you want to retire successfully but are starting from scratch at age 50, you need a plan. This is the last installment of a four-part series on how to make it happen. When we last met, the retirement re- demption plan we’d outlined was coming up just a little short of success. It had taken you from having no retirement assets at age 50 to a projected monthly shortage of only $292 by age 70. This leaves you with two choices: Cross your fingers and hope it all works out, or put together a plan to bridge that gap and even go so far as to create a projected monthly surplus at retirement. I recommend the latter. I’ve never believed you should try to out-accumulate avoidable obligations.
