Congrats to @UofSCBrain on expanding brain health services w/ @LexMedCtr! “When we first brought the idea… to the State House, we knew it would have a major positive impact,” said VP @JuliusThor_VPR. Thank you to the Legislature for believing in the vision! 🧠 #BrainHealth

Big news for maternal health in SC! @UofSCNursing launches the state’s first accredited nurse-midwifery program — especially vital for rural SC! This wouldn’t be possible without legislative support, led by @UofSC alums Sen. @RonnieCromer & Rep. @NathanBallentin.

I had a powerful conversation with Jewish students and faculty at @UofSC’s Anne Frank Center. As we see an alarming rise in antisemitism around the world we must come together to strongly condemn it in all its forms. South Carolina has and will continue to stand with Israel.

South Carolina, and our legal community in particular, lost a giant with the passing of Stanley Myers. He was an outstanding attorney and an even better person. postandcourier.com/sports/ci…
