Sumter Family Health Center (SFHC) won the "Community Health Center of the Year Award" at the 7th Annual DHEC Evidence-Based Diabetes and HDSP Winter Symposium held February 28, 2009 in Myrtle Beach, SC.

This award recognizes the outstanding contributions of a community health center in improving diabetes performance measures through improved health care delivery systems that increase access and decrease health disparities among medically underserved populations. 16 Community Health Centers were eligible for the award this year.

SFHC participates in the National Diabetes Collaborative and has worked to make substantial advancements in establishing an office practice system to improve care for patients through well-defined measures, collaborative goals, engaging a team to participate in improvement activities and collecting and reporting data needed to track improvement of health care outcomes.
