Vision Goals
A full continuum of medical needs for individuals of all ages is met through high quality healthcare facilities and personnel. Mental health and substance abuse treatment services are adequately funded. Vulnerable populations, including children, young families, seniors, and those with disabilities, can find high quality, affordable and accessible health care.
Greenville supports healthy and safe lifestyle choices as well as behaviors that increase chances of longer life without chronic disease, injury, or accidental or premature death.

A strong, vibrant economy of the Upstate provides the resources to insure that every citizen has affordable access to complete medical care. This care includes healthy lifestyle educaiton, preventative (wellness) care, acute and chronic care and specialized care when needed. The care encompasses dental, medical and mental health services as appropriate. The cost of this care is provided by a combination of private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare as well as a "new community fund." Education about accessing all areas of the health system is ongoing.
