On August 18th, the Unity Outreach Church joined RHS at our Clyburn facility to host a Mobile Food Drive! Over 26,000 lbs. of food were provided to Aiken County locals. A huge thank you to Golden Harvest Food Bank who donated fresh meat, produce, dairy products, and dry goods. With the help of 27 volunteers, who worked diligently for 2.5 hours, we were able to meet the needs of our community.
Unity Outreach Church hosts a mobile food drive every first and third Wednesday of the month. To follow their location go to, Unity Outreach Church Food Pantry.
On August 10th, Rural Health Services, Inc. awarded a $1,000 scholarship to its first local recipient, Donovan Hodge. The Dr. Kenneth P. Judd/RHS Health Professionals Scholarship is offered to one student in the Aiken community who plans to pursue a career in the healthcare industry.
Hodge wowed staff with his academic and community involvement with sports, volunteering, and assistant teaching. With the financial aid of the scholarship, Hodge will be pursuing a degree in the social services or mental health field at Coker University this Fall.
We are so excited to continue this scholarship program each year to help other students like Hodge follow their passions and dreams.

Homelessness is a significant #barrier to good health. Rates of all illnesses for people experiencing homelessness are 3-6x higher than those of other populations, and life expectancy is 30 years shorter.
Rural Health Services works to provide critical healthcare services to address the interconnected health and social problems faced by individuals experiencing #homelessness. We always aim to provide accessible, quality, and comprehensive care to all.

Always nice, great doctors! I have been going here for years. Always nice people!
Professional. Polite. Knowledgeable. Very clean.
I have been treated there for several years and love all who I have been in contact with. The doctor there is very nice and takes you serious when you tell them your symptoms. Doctor makes sure you understand all they have told you. I love all I have come in contact with and very low for your meds there. I will continue to use them in Clearwater.
