As elected officials, coroners serve their local communities but also serve in other critical state-wide responsibilities. This includes collaborating with various advisory committees to advance scientific knowledge, improve readiness, and enhance the safety and well-being of all South Carolinians. By working alongside other experts and stakeholders, coroners can identify and address critical healthcare, safety, and support systems gaps. Through their unique insights and experiences, they play an essential role in creating a more equitable and safer future for all residents. Thank you for joining us as we work towards building a more robust and safer South Carolina.
