About Sumter
Sumter is home to Shaw Air Force Base, headquarters of U.S. Air Forces Central Command. Military families face frequent moves and long separations, and care by secure video can continue after a move within South Carolina.
About one in seven adults in Sumter County is a veteran, compared with about one in ten in neighboring Richland County. Veterans can face depression, anxiety, PTSD and sleep problems long after their service ends, and all of them are treatable.
Manufacturing is Sumter County's largest employment sector, with more than 6,000 jobs. Video visits can fit around demanding work schedules, with no drive.
Local industries include the military and tire and medical device manufacturing.
Colleges in and near Sumter include Morris College, Central Carolina Technical College and USC Sumter.
Sumter County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there.
