Become a Sponsor,

Partnerships that Support Sustainable Rural Health

 Through our structure as a Community-engaged Lifestyle Medicine (CELM) Community Care Hub (CCH), the GraceHub has a unique ability in Allendale County, South Carolina to coordinate integrated, preventative care that addresses the root causes of chronic disease (social determinants of health and lifestyle behaviors) in a  cost-effective and community-trusted manner. 


Good candidates to sponsor a community-engaged lifestyle medicine community care hub include healthcare systems, health insurance payers, government agencies, philanthropic foundations, local businesses, key consumer brands. 


 Benefits of Sponsorship

  • Reduced Healthcare Costs: Sponsors (especially payers) gain a return on investment through  improved chronic disease management and fewer high-cost  hospitalizations.
  • Enhanced Community Impact and Visibility: Sponsorship provides brand recognition as a "thought leader" in the community and aligns your organization with social responsibility goals.
  • Streamlined Operations: Organizations can contract with a single hub rather than dozens of  small CBOs, reducing administrative overhead for social care delivery in your offices.
  • Data and Outcomes Tracking: Through our use of SC Thrive's ThriveHub, we centralize data management, allowing sponsors to receive measurable reports on the impact of your contributions to community  health.
  • Employee Morale and Workforce Well-being: For corporate sponsors, supporting CELM initiatives can improve employee  morale and even help manage internal rising healthcare costs.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Sponsorship opens pathways for long-term collaborations with health leaders and other influential stakeholders in the public and private  sectors.


Benefits from sponsoring initiatives through the GraceHub offer improved health outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, enhanced community relations, and access to community voice, community listening and actionable data.  Here's how companies, organizations, farms and faith communities can partner with community health hubs to support Lifestyle Medicine initiatives, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and nature in medicine.
