important health issues in our State; and

Whereas, the mission of 
the South Carolina Institute of Medicine and Public Health is to inform policy 
to improve health and healthcare; and

Whereas, the institute

Carolina legislators and shared clear, evidence-based health policy information 
in a nonpartisan manner; and

Whereas, the institute 
has convened South Carolina experts and stakeholders to produce policy 
recommendations informing behavioral health, long-term care, the healthcare 
workforce, care of the aging and disabled, and maternal and infant health; and

Whereas, the institute 
regularly continues to publish policy and data briefs, analyses, and reports 
based on in-depth research on important health issues, including "South 
Carolina's Guide to Approved Uses to Investing Opioid Settlement Funds,"

Maternal and Infant Health: Increasing Access to Care in Rural South Carolina," 
resulting in policy recommendations that have informed South Carolina policy;
