The registration deadline for South Carolina voters has been extended to Wednesday, Oct. 17, for residents in all counties, ac- cording to the South Carolina Election Commission. The 10-day extension was nec- essary to protect the voting rights of South Carolinians due to the impact of Hurricane Flor- ence, according to the commis- sion in a news release. Many res- idents have been displaced lead- ing up to this week's original deadline, and many county voter registration offices were closed for considerable periods of time, the release said. There are several ways for South Carolinians to register to vote.

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 UIF

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?
