As of July 1, 2024, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has been split into two new agencies.

This is the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH), the former health component of DHEC.

Our name may change, but our commitment to protecting, promoting and improving the health and well-being of everyone in South Carolina is stronger than ever.

DPH will build on DHEC’s legacy, continuously innovating to achieve best practices that help improve our state’s overall health with the goal of becoming the healthiest state in our nation.
