The Center grew from a partnership between the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and the state's Department of Health and Human Services. The USC School of Medicine established the S.C. Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare in 2017 in an effort to expand programs for training, recruiting, and retaining primary care physicians in South Carolina’s rural and underserved areas and enhance service to rural patients.
