Moore School of Education (The Community Counseling Clinic), the Oconee County Health Department, the Seneca Lakes Family Practice Residency Program, and the Oconee Memorial Hospital.
• Migrant Health Project: The Sullivan Center has a contract with the South Carolina Office of Minority Health to provide health services via the mobile health unit to seasonal and migrant farm workers in Pickens County. Ten weekly evening clinics are held each year during June and October. Clemson language, nursing, and health science students work under the supervision of Center staff to provide health care for the migrant population in upstate South Carolina.
• Lay Health Advisor Program: The purpose of this project is to empower individuals within specific cultural groups to adopt healthy lifestyles and to promote health within their own families and communities. The process will utilize natural helpers within the community as role models and change agents.
