Healthcare in Sumter: What Every Employer Needs to Know

Healthcare is no longer just a personal issue. It is a workforce issue, an economic issue, and a business growth issue. It impacts your bottom line, your employees, and your ability to recruit and retain talent.

Join us for the 2026 State of Healthcare, an employer-focused conversation designed to address the real healthcare challenges facing businesses in Sumter right now. This is not a policy-driven discussion. It is a practical, solutions-oriented conversation centered on what employers are experiencing today and how to plan for the future.

💡 A Conversation Shaped by You
This is not a traditional panel. Using live polling, attendees will vote in real time on the healthcare issues impacting their organizations most. The top concerns will guide the discussion, ensuring the conversation is relevant, timely, and driven by the needs of the business community.

🎤 Hear from Leaders Across Healthcare &amp; Business
This year’s panel brings together experienced voices representing insurance, healthcare leadership, and human resources:
Steve Padgette, Chamber Sales Representative, BlueCross BlueShield Small Group Division
Octavia Wynn, Chief Nursing Officer, Prisma Health Tuomey
Shirl Goodman, Human Resources Professional 

The discussion will be moderated by:
Dr. Mayes DuBose, Carolina Geriatric Specialists &amp; Carolina Concierge Care

Each panelist will offer a unique perspective on how healthcare trends are influencing workforce stability, employee wellbeing, and long-term business success in Sumter.

📍 Why This Conversation Matters
Healthcare shows up in your business every day through:
Insurance renewals
Absenteeism
Burnout
Recruitment and retention
Expansion decisions

Understanding these realities now will help your business plan smarter for the next three to five years.

🏥 Vendor Opportunities Available
Businesses in the healthcare, wellness, and fitness industries are invited to participate as vendors for $30. This is a great opportunity to connect directly with local employers, showcase your services, and increase visibility within the business community.
