INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Piedmont Women’s Center officially opened the doors of their third clinic location in the Powdersville/Piedmont area of the Upstate on May 13th, 2024. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the new facility on July 3rd at 10:00 a.m.. The new medical facility provides essential women’s health services to this community free of charge.

World Population Review reports a 10.95% poverty rate in the Powdersville area. United Way of Pickens and Anderson reports that while wages have increased in the Pickens/Anderson areas, they have not kept pace with the cost of living. Therefore, more families and individuals are struggling to meet every day needs.

Dr. Christy Lee, M.D. and Medical Director of Piedmont Women’s Center says, “Through the new Powdersville PWC office, we are able to broaden access to quality life-affirming healthcare and family support resources, empowering women to make educated decisions.”
