In South Carolina, over 438,000 residents are the working uninsured. Many of them are too young for Medicare, cannot afford health insurance, but are not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. All it takes is one chronic illness to destroy a household budget or lead to job loss. From an employer's perspective, sick employees translate into lost productivity and profits. Fortunately, there is an innovative approach to healthcare that promotes a healthier workforce. CommuniCare, a statewide nonprofit, nationally recognized healthcare network in South Carolina, is part of that solution.
