About Us

The purpose of this agreement is to create an organization capable of performing comprehensive long and short range health planning for Cherokee County, seek resources, both public and private, to implement health plans and services for the citizens, disburse funds to appropriate entities or directly operate programs and services that will enhance the health status of Cherokee County citizens, insure community participation by creating a Health Coalition that is representative of the community, act as a clearing house for health related matters, and within resources, assist the health care industry of Cherokee County through feasibility studies, health and health related studies , and help facilitate community health education. This idea had been formed by the council upon observing the home health care upon the state visit and meeting there. It inspired us to also have that home care and hospice in our area too.
