We believe no one living with HIV or AIDS should go without medical care, everyday resources and emotional support.
About us
For more than 26 years, Palmetto Community Care, formerly Lowcountry AIDS Services, has been serving men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties. PCC provides case management, access to medical care, housing assistance, financial assistance, nutritional assistance and legal assistance along with an array of other supportive services to hundreds in the Charleston area. PCC also works to prevent this epidemic through education, media campaigns, community outreach and free, daily HIV/STD testing. Mission Palmetto Community Care is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for persons living with HIV and AIDS and to providing HIV prevention resources and programs for schools, churches, community organizations, and the workplace in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. In carrying out this mission, PCC strives to: • Provide practical and emotional support to people with HIV/AIDS, their families, friends, and loved ones. • Educate the public about HIV and AIDS and its prevention, actively confronting discrimination when it interferes with compassionate care for clients. • Act as an advocacy, resource, and referral agency for people affected by HIV and AIDS. • Work cooperatively with and provide assistance to the healthcare community and social service organizations. • Represent the needs of people affected by HIV and AIDS on a local, state, and national level; ensure their fair and equitable treatment; and secure sufficient resources.
