Testimonials From OurCommunity & Clients
Troy M. Hanna
President & CEO, Spartanburg County Foundation
“The Spartanburg County Foundation’s mission has always been to improve the lives of Spartanburg County residents and respond to community needs. That mission was realized when it provided support from the Foundation’s unrestricted funds to help launch Piedmont Care and hire its first Executive Director. Then, as now, Piedmont Care’s work is at the forefront of response to genuine and specific needs within our community. Its staff and volunteers continue to work on the front lines of healthcare to strengthen HIV/AIDS education, testing, prevention services, and care for our neighbors impacted by the disease. We are proud to have been a part of the history of an organization that has made such a lasting impact and continues improving lives in our community.”
Molly Talbot-Metz
President/CEO of the Mary Black Foundation
“For 30 years, Piedmont Care has been doing critically important work to ensure that all people have access to the health care and services they need. The Mary Black Foundation has been proud to support the organization over the years, including providing grant funds to expand its efforts in the areas of HIV education and prevention. We look forward to many more years of impact through Piedmont Care!”
Linda J. Bell, MD
Director DHEC Bureau of Communicable Disease Prevention and Control South Carolina State Epidemiologist, SC DHEC
“Upon learning that Piedmont Care was celebrating its 30th Anniversary, I wanted to send congratulations and thanks for their providing needed services for people living with HIV/AIDs for three decades…an impressive accomplishment! Piedmont Care has fulfilled medical needs for people affected by HIV, but perhaps more importantly the organization has made a mission of fighting stigma and discrimination that continues to hinder people living with HIV from getting the care they need and desire. Thank you, Piedmont Care, for the clinical and social services that have had an impact in changing lives for decades. I wish you continued success in serving the needs of people living with HIV, their families, and our community for years to come.”
