About The Position

Healthy Me- Healthy SC (HMHSC) is a statewide initiative, founded by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Clemson University. HMHSC’s mission is to improve health care access and health inequities in rural and underserved communities of South Carolina through impact and innovation. HMHSC’s vision is that all South Carolinians will have equal opportunity to experience improved health and wellness. HMHSC’s focus areas include chronic disease and preventative healthcare, mental health, women’s and children’s health and cancer. Currently, nine programs fall within the HMHSC umbrella, aligning to these focus areas. The HMHSC Intern will report to HMHSC’s Operations Manager and Director, and will have the unique opportunity to be highly-involved in the oversight of HMHSC’s programs and expansion. This role will provide experience in operations, strategic planning, project and financial management and team-building. As HMHSC is a statewide initiative, this role will work with individuals from MUSC, Clemson, DHEC and other partners. The role will be largely remote, with in-office team days occurring 2-4x/month. In addition, there will be four Saturday Health Fair Events this role will attend (all travel expenses will be fully reimbursed by HMHSC), two in Blackville, SC and two in Kingstree, SC. These events run from 10am-1pm, with time needed on either end for set-up and break-down. At these events, there are health screenings (blood pressure and glucose) as well as connectivity to various community resources and partners. The intern will be working hand-in-hand with HMHSC’s Operations Manager to prepare for these events (project management), and on the day-off will work with all members of the HMHSC team to make the event a success. If desired, there will be other occasional opportunities within the state. The right individual for this role will be a highly motivated self-starter, and someone with a passion for community health and health equity.
