Who we are
Started in 1998, the Children and Family
Healthcare Center (CFHC) is owned
and operated by the College of Nursing,
University of South Carolina. It is under
the umbrella of University Specialty
Clinics. The Center serves more than
7,000 patients and provides a
comprehensive range of pediatric and
specialty services from birth through older
adulthood. The Center addresses an urgent
need for providing health care to children
coming into the foster care system and
accepts clients of any age and income level
including Medicaid, Medicare, and private
insurance.
Who provides the care?
Nurse Practitioner faculty from the
USC College of Nursing are the primary
health care providers at the Children and
Family Healthcare Center. USC students
in nursing, social work and pharmacy
receive clinical experience at the Center.
This quality clinical practice environment
provides expert faculty and students with
practical real life clinical opportunities that
are academically strong and demonstrate
evidence based practice.
How We Make A
Difference
We believe EDUCATION and
PREVENTION are the keys to
healthy families and individuals.
Our programs include:
• Obesity prevention designed to provide
clients and their families with literature and
knowledge to assist them in making healthy
lifestyle choices.
• Outreach programs funded by caring donors that
provide field trips to the zoo and Edventure are
designed to give children educational opportunities
they might not be able to afford.
• A toy from the “Magic Closet”, a book from the
reading library and warm caring competent staff
who answer questions with compassion to assure
that every child and adult feels special and leaves
our Center with a smile on their face.
• Reach Out and Read, a federal program provides
free books to children.
• Accessible location to adult and pediatric patients
who are faced with complicated health problems.
• Understanding of the foster care system.
• Expertise regarding victims of physical neglect,
physical abuse and sexual abuse.
